    As a side comment on the ideology of going "global first", startups from smaller countries (with smaller markets) are almost forced to adopt this mindset from day one. Many advantages from going US only first: same currency &

    Perhaps, but you might learn more in CA; bigger market, moves faster, more experienced co-workers, stronger culture of entrepreneurship, generally bigger thinkers. Worst case scenario is that after earning USD for 2 years on an E3 visa, you

    Touché! Hadn't thought to check JavaScript. Anyone have a better source for actual RSS usage?

    by mceoin 9y ago

    I suspect you might be right. Personally, I think the main reason RSS failed to get bigger adoption was a UX problem. Clicking on RSS and getting a page of code is just too confronting for most people. Thus it never managed to get the same

    Yes absolutely, and they're great. But if your understanding of RSS is clicking on an RSS button and getting junk code on your screen, that's the end of the line for most people. Completely different to a 'like' button e
