   Congrats to the team! Well deserved. It's one of the better apps I use daily, both on desktop and mobile. Hope they make it better and don't kill it.

   Client side vs server side rendering is pretty straight forward for us. Anything that is static, like the homepage, pricing, about is rendered server side. These pages don't change that often. Almost anything that is dynamic is client side.

    This is awesome! You should add track lists and scrubbing without having to download the entire set. Remind me of the days when I used to work on Mugasha. My main problem was that it was a pain for me to find good stuff to listen to while l

    That sounds amazing an scary at the same time. Wonder if you could try it out for a new product team, that's fairly isolated from rest of the company. A startup within AirBnb?

    One of the founders of Picplum here. We acquired the Picwing last year when we started Picplum. The core idea behind Picplum was based on Picwing.

    Congrats to Sam and the team. Green Dot is lucky to have him. During last summer at YC Sam helped us quite a bit on different fronts. He has this amazing clarity in his thought process and is generally a really helpful guy.

    We have been using handlebar.js templates that are pre-compiled into js objects in a single file. So you get the same benefits of browser caching for your views.

    If you think a company will be able to sponsor his H1B without him having a degree (usually technical) then think again.
