I can say unequivocally entering YC is one of the best decisions I have ever made both personally and for my business. I'll let others debate the monetary economics of YC and just say that the YC network effect is the most under-rated

You should read the book: The Aviators: Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh, and the Epic Age of Flight by Winston Groom. All three extraordinary individuals grew up in near poverty conditions with conservative minded par

Unfortunately a subset of the population likes to hide behind their anonymity and act nasty to others.

I used to have the "trial period" mentality even though I didn't have an answer for the "that's starting out on the wrong foot" skepticism. But recently, a smarter-than-me CEO shared his hiring practice and he

I've been using Expensify for 2+ years and I just started using Abacus. The core value proposition of the two products are significantly different. Expensify makes the "old school" expense/reimbursement process easier. E

What's your area of interest? Mobile? Web App? Front-end? Backend? If you don't mind sharing.

Yes, Facebook is profiting from my clickstreams. In other words, it's benefiting from my "work". But I'm also benefiting from Facebook. The only reason you use Facebook is because it adds value to your life in some way r

Meritocracy is a lot messier in real life. More the reason to have that rug up and practice that belief within your own organization. I can't say that I agree with the move.

This is awesome! Great example app for the Zinc API. Now you just need to integrate with those smart fridges so an order with Amazon Fresh is automatically placed when I run low on something.

Using Facebook is not compulsory. You don't have to use it if you don't like it. But you can't use Facebook AND demand wages from Facebook. Can I demand lost time wages from http://wagesforfacebook.com/ becau

I'm a big fan of Zenefits. At my last startup, we grew from 0 to 65 employees without the help of Zenefits and it was painful. Employee on-boarding, HR paperwork, and healthcare enrollment were all done manually. Now, Zenefits can hand

S3 is a great building block if you are building your own HIPAA compliant stack. But used alone, you will not be HIPAA compliant. HIPAA requires you to provide emergency data access, detailed audit logging and data integrity control.

That's absolutely okay with us. Though the developers at WebMD team may not be very happy if every piece of data is stored in a compressed BLOB. For each record lookup, you'll have to retrieve the entire compressed binary object,
