I'd love to know more about the plan, and the milestones you set for yourself. Without a product in market, how did you come up with feasible numbers to reach for? Here are a bunch more questions just as fodder: How much did you have

It doesn't mean nothing. There's a range of equity that will be given away during any round. I don't know how high the variance is but it's probably less than 30% and more than 10%.

A lot of these resonate with me... to the extent that I already believe them. It's tough to absorb these sorts of generalities though, which is why startups make the same mistakes over and over again... not because they haven't h

It's true that non-founder equity has a trivial chance of becoming life-changing money. But working at a fast-growing company has benefits. For inexperienced by ambitious people, the work-to-employee ratio makes it possible to take on pro

Your javascript snippet seems to point to http://easycsv.dev/ . I'm guessing you'll want to replace that. I was also confused about what CSVs I was supposed to create. It's not clear that you're generating CSVs of user data.

Thanks for the comment. I'd love to see an example of the kind of 50/50 test analysis you do when you have time for a post. I agree the hard part is the analysis, and I mentioned some of the challenges in the post. I hoped to use it as a

Thanks! I was surprised at how long it got, but hopefully the exercise is good for learning real-world SQL in general (beyond just the cohort use case). Would love requests for future posts topics if there's anything you want to learn.

Hey, thanks for the comment. The product has beta customers already, and is ready for more. I've been working with the Citus Data guys on the MongoDB Foreign Data Wrapper for PostgreSQL. I've added a bunch of features to the wrapper and u

I've had good results so far with node-http-proxy: https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/ Easy to set up, and has the benefit of reducing the number of processes I need to maintain (my node server and my proxy server are the same).

Congrats to the Citus Data team on a big release. These guys know distributed databases backwards and forwards. Excited to see how this product stacks up against Hive.
