   I understand the concern. All traffic from your computer to AirDropper and from AirDropper to Dropbox is SSLed. We actually don't have full access to your Dropbox account, just a sandboxed folder we create called AirDropper. We don't plan o

   Yeah, sometimes it's signed documents but I also get client materials that are particularly sensitive. I've been thinking through the signed documents problem, but I'm not sure the market is ready yet. We've had legislation in the U.S. that

    I'd be curious to hear people's thoughts too. It's definitely a lesson I've had to learn myself, and one that I'm still learning to apply. I've just noticed that clients of all ages have trouble bringing themselves to get the right help the

    I see what you're saying, but notice I said your business is like a "person," not a "personality." Whatever problem you are solving is being solved by the business, not by you, even if you are a single founder or small team. It's useful to

    I have the hardest time conveying to some clients that legal documents are more like code than prose. I'll try the analogy of a DSL with my dev clients. Thanks.

    Oh wow, I'd never seen that before. I thought about hiking too but I've never been so I don't know what it's like. I also thought about suggesting sailing for a couple weeks, but I was worried about what liability there'd be if some startup
