I think you should hit up Adam and see if he can provide you with a 9-year 9-month extension. If not, you should let Sam know so he can provide an update clarification on the article. There is also a precedent for such type of clarification

While I agree with your premise, the didn't-take-early-offer-and-run seems doesn't provide strong enough evidence. For a super successful startup (a la dropbox, stripe, etc.) -- why take only $50 million and leave the rest (possi

Yeah, I have to agree. Looks like the author took a long time and care to formulate this thoughts. Obviously, the experience to come up with these thoughts took over 3 years as the article mentions. This is the type of article I come to Hac

The name sounded familiar. This company is a bit spammy anyway. I am part of the Silicon Valley Java User Groups meetup. I got this e-mail from one of their employee in early March: ==== Hey fellow Dev's, I'm a ux designer who just joined t

I read it -- a while back actually. I ended up getting to it by following a link for some other interview that Ravi had posted on LinkedIn. BTW, my actions might be biased: I like reading. If I had an option between reading and listening, I

I agree with you from the perspective of people of France (or anyone outside the area). And that point is not lost on me. I am talking about the credibility of the author. The line referenced in the article is written by the author. They ar

$250,000 revenue. $1 billion valuation. W - T - F. This better be a bloody joke. The more I read the article, the more it seems that the article is definitely masterful PR from CloudFare. K.M. Cutler either took the bait hook-line-and-sinke
