Well, I should have said risk is correlated to reward. While wealth might not be a zero sum game, if 5x the number of startups existed that exist now, it would just be harder to be successful on average. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, b

Barely getting by without working, I think, is a much different version of "barely getting by".

Yes, why don't we have the government promote our preferred group of people while penalizing the others? Let's help startup founders, and screw the large corporations! We want it to be easy for us to fire people, but it should be hard for b

Risk is generally proportional to reward. If it was less risky to start a startup, the reward or chance of reward wouldn't be as great (more people doing it, less chance of succeeding or of an exit).

HelpSpot is what Weebly uses to handle our support requests... We've been VERY happy with it so far.

you can get 50-100k from a few places: either 1 angel (it won't be a very big deal for them), family, or friends of family.

How is LVS not practical? LVS is awesome... it's kernel-level and doesn't use any resources, plus is very simple but flexible. Forget the ultramonkey configurations and go with keepalived to handle the monitoring, failover, etc.

that's a good way to explain what I was trying to capture in the "looking really cool" point. a demo is a visual thing, and people don't distinguish between the UI and the application, so make sure everything looks smooth. i wrote this post

hopefully this arrives in time to help some people out this weekend :) my #1 piece of advice to anybody that asked me about interviews: have a demo! even if it's something that you whipped up in 2 days, let them know that, but have a demo!

at 5-15 and even more so at the 1-5 range (where we've seen a decent amount of activity lately), user base isn't the defining factor in the acquisition. in the not-very-well-named "hiring bonus" style exits (who receives a hiring bonus of $

you're talking about a huge acquisition here... if you want to sell the company for 5-15 million, language will matter a lot more.

a bit of inside knowledge here of multiple recent acquisitions and acquisition talks: being in an acquirer's preferred language definitely helps. as everybody mentioned, there are dozens of factors that can be more important -- you can't ar

RT and FogBugz both suck. You have to click 3-5 times to get a request filed. That gets annoying real fast. Check out my comment below about Helpspot (and no I don't work for them either :)

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. We use HelpSpot by UserScape (www.userscape.com) and it's been really, really great. Almost support ticket 2.0 (don't shoot me!). It costs money but it's pretty affordable -- the founder also frequen

Are you kidding? jottit is "nice" in that you can "start using it" right away, but you're slamming users up against the empty form wall in full force. Upon arriving at jottit.com, I don't know what jottit does at all, and I certainly don't
