Many of these businesses are also predictably linked to the broader economy - ticketing at Eventbrite, reservations/shopping for Yelp. It would be prudent to keep a cash stockpile for the inevitable cyclic downturns. Full disclosure,

The GitHub designers are infallible GOATs, how dare this upstart - wait, WAIT. This is actually pretty good. Designing for desktop width makes sense because GitHub uses a relatively independent design on mobile [0]. I'd like to find a

I loved traipsing through the different fonts to see what they did. I discovered some font-features I wasn't aware of: * bitmapped + ligatured fonts - you can have both! * sans-serif normal, serif italics - Italicized words were serif-

I'm jealous that he's made so many things, surprised by the small amount of money they've been sold for, and unsure whether this is someone I should emulate or someone I should view as a cautionary tale.

This article in particular doesn't seem like a good example of your generalisation. No ridiculous childhood flashback, and the headline is a facet of the main point expressed in the first paragraph.

I think this sometimes gets used as an excuse for people who don't want to deal with another layer of indirection added by an abstraction. The gist of this touchstone blog post is that we need to be willing to abandon our abstractions

My two cents are they'll leverage the acquisition and get free marketing by moving Github to Azure. I'm less worried about them doing some 90's Microsoft chicanery (they've shown a real willingness to invest in dev good

This is definitely going to work - it's just iMessage for Android. Google can deploy a default version of Chat in the next one or two Android releases. Users won't notice the difference except that SMS has some nicer features. Go
