   The Basecamp (née 37Signals) folks have been beating this drum for quite some time. DHH posted "Reconsider" to their blog today, actually; it's an entertaining read, if nothing else: https://signalvnoise.com/p

   This documentary seems to largely follow "The Man Behind The Microchip," a biography of Robert Noyce. Noyce and his work at Fairchild really set the tone for entrepreneurship in modern Silicon Valley -- a lovely piece of history t

   We're a well-known company with an earned reputation for doing the right thing. Not everyone can set up their own VPN endpoint. For those who can, and are willing to maintain it, great! More: https://blog.getcloak.com/2

   Out of curiosity, how do growth (and churn) factor into these valuations?

    It's easy. Just start your company in 2007, work yourself to the bone for over half a decade while most of the industry ignores you, build an enduring consumer brand against all odds and expectations, find an engine for profit, get acq

    My first full-time job out of college was as an engineer at SGI in Mountain View. This is now Google's campus! It was the summer of 1999. You can imagine how it went. In retrospect, there _was_ a silver lining: https://davep

    Fun list so far! I'd vote for Not YYZ, which will only make sense to Rush fans and morse code freaks.

    I said 30 but, professionally, it's a lot shorter. (I was pretty young when I was writing 6502.)
