In the early days of a startup, everyone is on the same page. But there’s no way to know how well a founding team will get along by the time a company reaches maturity. Set aside the romantic notion that startup teams consist of visionary mavericks who are building the future in real time; they’re also human beings, with all of their flaws. Nearly anything can tear a co-founder relationship asunder.

Maybe he was running away from the increasingly process-driven and bureaucratic nature of the PM role?

It’s a rote story by now that many populations around the world are facing rapid decline. Birth rates in many countries are falling , leading to concerns about graying populations engendering imbalanced economies. That’s true when we consider nation-level populations.

If you have a static HTML website, but you want to include comments, here’s an interesting way to do it using PostgreSQL’s NOTIFY and LISTEN. The big idea is to write the comments as static HTML, only when comments change , instead of doing a database query to display them every time. This prevents the “hug of death” if you get a burst of traffic. I’ve been doing it this way for over six years, and it works great.

There’s one issue I have started to see more and more often: Startup founders, in their desperation to show how big their markets are, overstep the mark significantly, claiming numbers for their TAM/SAM/SOM that are unobtainable and absurd. I get it: You want to seem like you’re building a very valuable company. But in the pitch process, you still have to maintain a sense of honesty.
