True, indeed! When writing this post, I kept coming up empty when trying to find something to compare it to (I explored other things like writing a book, creating music, painting, etc. but they never really matched up in the same way.)...

Calling out ownership as a distinct trait from the creation and subsequent usage is interesting. I think I touched on the incidental rewards associated with ownership (seeing your product used, feeling compelled to fix bugs, pride associate

I too am intrigued by this. It almost seems predictable that this would be the thing the folks would fixate on. HN commenters would be a great sample set to do social experiments on. :)

No problem, David! The success of the launch wouldn't have been a reality without everyone's help during the event.

Thanks, Anand! Yeah, absolutely: James and Andrew did everything they could to make the experience as an early employee as inclusive as possible. I was kept in the loop at every step of the way. One of our company values is that we are all

I picked it kind of on a whim and as a hack (are they still allowing porn under .com?). I like the aesthetic symmetry of the domain and TLD, in general. There was a funny potential bug in our code several months ago which almost led to the

The main reason we can't easily use hashes to bust the cache is that the includes for our static assets (the Firebase JS lib) are happening inside our customer's websites. We could hypothetically insert a shim that pulls the include down th

Hah! Yeah, we left the debug console open so you can play with it. It's a graphical debugger that shows the data updates for the game in realtime. Have fun: http://mmoa0.firebase.com/mmoaleaderboard0
