It matters a lot less than it used to. With the exception of working on the Olympics I’ve been able to use an Amex for most travel expenses since 2000. What was more of a pain was the lack of EMV chips in US credit cards for a long time.

Do the three of you have experience setting up and running a startup? If not, then do not try to precisely define equal responsibilities because, as you’ve already learned, you’ll fail. Agree on each other’s areas of responsibility, how su

Was it a shallow pain, like almost in the surface or lining of the chest wall? Might have been something called costochondritis. I had had it off and on since the 1990s, usually for a day or two. But, after each Covid infection I had it for

Depends on how you’re measuring success. Are you looking for profit? Distribution? Both? Something else? Also depends on how you are funding development. On premises is going to require support resources for installation and maintenance.

If the choice is between burning out and taking a sabbatical to get a break, take the sabbatical. My only advice is: structure the sabbatical in some way. Give yourself some OKRs. Doesn't matter what they are. If you don't you&

I have this on my garage, mostly because occasionally I’m an idiot. One feature that OP can use is that you can set a schedule to automatically open or close the door at given times. So in my case I have it set to close at noon and ten p.m.

I bought one in November 1998 ($1299 then, roughly $2400 today). It was an upgrade for me from an ancient Mac SE I’d had since 1990. The thing that struck me then was how easy the online purchase process was. There were very few options to
