I am a fairly unknown random person, and I get about 100 people a day to my personal blog, hosted on github pages. I don't promote it at all, it's mostly organic search results on whatever problem I've had to solve or soluti

I'd imagine you could start by whitelisting domains. This wouldn't help commercial sites but if you "followed" a domain it would be no worse than Twitter notifications.

This makes me seriously consider switching from heroku for my rails postgres app. Probably could cut my costs significantly. Anyone have any comments or experiences with the Google app engine flex environment for ruby?

As a CA small business owner, I'd be much happier to just pay a simple payroll tax per employee than have this multi-step octopus process around open enrollment periods, health insurance brokers, differing city regulations (like SF), m

I wish someone should offer a "firebase for OT" SAAS that offers an API, SDKs for JS/iOS/Android and a few working samples. Every time I want a collaborative OT like environment for apps that I build, I end up: 1- implem

How is AI any different from other technology improvement such as electricity, automation, personal computers, steam engines, or the cotton gin? All of them destroyed some jobs, and created new ones. Are you sure that the impact of this one

That's a really pitch great deck, Philip. Thanks for sharing. I have to admit - I don't totally understand why you pivoted for your V2. Couldn't you have just added on the "SMS" feature to your existing product?

Sorry to hear this. Any lessons learned? I use WhenIWork for this area, which suits our needs. Not sure what would make me switch, probably not a text messaging. Most of my employees have smartphones, so a mobile app is fine. Biggest pr

One idea may be to bundle or "set up their systems" for free - accounting, CRM, credit cards, website, SEM, etc. This would save them probably a few hundred hours of research and configuration. Charge them a nominal monthly fe

Sachs is right that the SMB market is very cost sensitive. We use both Zenefits and Gusto (mainly because of legacy issues - neither offered both benefits + payroll when we started) Zenefits manages our health insurance and onboarding, an

I like the idea of a social network of businesses first, individuals second. The problem in this space (usually encountered when typing "Quickbooks Reviews" or "Quickbooks vs Xero") is the results do not feel trustworthy

I briefly looked into this, but it looks like there are a few differences in ecto migrations which mean that it's not perfectly smooth to use the same database. Seems like you can choose either rails or ecto to manage DB migrations, bu
