I did something like this early on in my working life. I got to the point where my side business had repeat customers and enough of a portfolio where I felt confident that I could bring on more customers. It wasn't a full jump, but t

Right - going down for a day can be damaging enough for some companies. Not allowing one person to click the "erase" button in the first place should be the focus. How hard could it be to implement a system where two or more peo

I would think the first and easiest thing to do to prevent situations like this is to make it so a single person cannot run certain commands. Sort of like the digital version of two keys on the opposite side of the room to launch a missile

It feels that ad space is in a downward spiral. The more space these companies convert to ads, the less the ads are worth and the more space they need to convert. Instagram in particular seems to really be falling into this cycle.

I remember an anecdote in the Steve Jobs biography where the first thing he did when he came back to Apple was severly cutting down a confusing and overlapping matrix of products. Now that he's gone, that matrix is creeping back up.
