The cynic in me would say they did not spend half their time building resumé-ware. But the numbers are probably totally wrong.

The tweet literally says “it’s Apache Cassandra under the hood”. Then it says the reused some tech from DynamoDB which can mean anything.

Popcorn Time already kinda does this and works pretty much flawlessly. You need to download their Electron app though.

I use Popcorntime a lot. It’s the only “service” in the world that just allows me to see what I want regardless of whether it’s on Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Amazon or just cinema. I would pay for a service like this in a heartbeat.

You're correct. You can't tell everyone what to do. Therefore you delegate and add middle management and have overarching goals. Telling a narrative that everyone can interpret willy nilly and pick and choose the bits they like is

Props to you by reacting suitably: worried, but calm and measured and not jumping on some Twitter outrage bandwagon.

Totally off topic: also went to those meetups in Utrecht! They were small fish then. Cray what can happen in ~6 years.

As a small SAAS owner I’m always very ambivalent about these things. I use throw away email addresses myself but there is nothing more annoying than seeing the same users sign up over and over again for trials. I think 1/4 of my signup

This is a "startup" made by Bosch and BCG Ventures. The scooters are everywhere in Berlin and quite popular. But the official press note (in German) states they basically ran out of cash and can not see a way to make it profitable

I made two fairly advanced SaaS / product sites using Hugo ( https://vamp.io and https://checklyhq.com ) and would actually advice to not use Hugo for any new initiatives. - the templating syntax is just very conf

Tried using Forestry (twice!) for Hugo based sites. Never got it to work properly. This was at least 1 year ago.

“Career transition” is that what we’re calling lay-offs now?

Was super skeptical about all those Jira replacement SaaS’s out there. But Clubhouse is actually pretty good. For people on the fence, give it a try.

Sad to see this happen, but honestly their SaaS products (Docker Cloud, Docker hub etc.) were absolutely terrible. The UI and UX felt like some half assed intern rush job. Terrible bugs around things like login and teams that just never got

I'm curious about how the massive left/anti-fa movement in Berlin will react to this one. They kept out Google after massive protests. Not sure this is the same thing though. https://www.theguardian.com/technology&

Great you already cut your normal 15 minute one to this. But honestly, it’s still quite long. Of course, context matters and the context of a YC interview is an elevator pitch. In that setting, the “tell us a little about yourself” question

OP here. Fair enough, but I’m 100% all in. I’m as far away from a startup fashionista as they get: trust me. I just like sharing this stuff for catharsis reasons and because I genuinely think it’s interesting to read for some. On the disrup

Yes, however you are extremely and acutely aware of this. Your business depends on it. This is not a long term solution though. You need to add people and take a break at some stage.

This is is scary. This is exactly how I run my (also monitoring) SaaS and it shows that the OP has learned how to minimize risk and prepare for the worst. You are married to your mobile & laptop. I also shows there is no free lunch: you

You need monitoring. But it will not keep your servers from dying. Using serverless, PaaS like Heroku or similar will help.
