Read the other comments. You'll see why I wrote the post... other people are dealing with the same problems and questions that I dealt with, and reading about other people who have figured it out is reassuring.

I used to live in Chicago and have a very strong network there. I actually grew my network in Chicago while not living there because I continued to work on good things and by being active on the internet. I expect that the same thing will h

Yes, you are right that I thought a startup job in San Francisco would be ideal. However, I have zero issues with San Francisco as a city and lifestyle (other than cost of living, which I dealt with fine). The decision to leave is mostly ba

Fantastic advice. I think you are definitely correct. Luckily I am design/product who can code (a bit), plus the added business and sales ability.

Product designer is what I should be doing, and will be doing from here on. In my definition of product design, the ideal skill-set is a UI designer who works mostly in front-end code.

Exactly. That's another reason I felt the urge to leave, particularly if I was going to start a business. I didn't want to be influenced by the bad habits of the Valley and SF. It seemed unnecessary to touch on that in this particular blog

This is exactly why I wrote the post. It was 100% a personal decision, but I hope that other people might relate and find a little courage if they are feeling the same way. Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it.

This is a common habit for PG. I've seen him speak in person 2-3 times and watched a handful of videos of him, and each time I noticed the amount that he said "um". Obviously the content is valuable and worth listening to, but it is naive t

Yes, I was working on that last night before I crashed and went to bed. Definitely a good suggestion. I have a few ideas for which you wouldn't even need to use the URL at all... Wait and see. :)

Thanks Tim. These are good tips. I'll hit you up later for more ideas.

by danielzarick 15y ago
Definitely. That's a good suggestion. I'll try to figure out a good way to add those in somewhere. There's a lot of work to be done. Thanks!

This is just a weekend project that I built. I work at Twilio, and this comes in handy for little SMS apps I need to build for work all the time. I have a lot of ideas of where I want to take this, and a bunch of layout/copywriting changes

It's not a startup, but there is a fantastic monthly meetup in Chicago for people who like to build stuff for the web (mainly developers/designers). Basically, a lot of awesome people go to a bar, hang out, and talk about things that we all

There used to be a HN meetup, but it stopped happening after a few months. A friend and I started Chicago.concat() which has been going strong for a few months and has a great group of people that show up every month. I have since moved to

It is very difficult to get repeating 2-digit short codes anymore. There aren't many left, especially at 5-digits long (instead of the other option, 6 digits). It'll be a huge asset to Cuphon to have that short code.

Also, can you let me know the carrier that you use?

Thanks for letting me know. Can you tell me what carrier you use?

Interesting. Thanks for letting us know. I'll look into it. We're definitely working to make sure we have the best coverage.

Listic is correct. We (Twilio) do not support international SMS on accounts by default. We are currently offering it in beta. However, after a quick email to Sandeep just now, I turned it on for his account and you should be able to test In

you shouldn't feel like you need to hide it because e.g. you think it would seem unprofessional. I love this, and thank you for stating it. Too rare do people act genuine and authentic in nature.
