About ChrisCinelli

I like building things that feel cool and work seamlessly. I like to work on things that make a better world, not just a fatter wallet.

I self-taught myself programming and wrote my first program in BASIC at the age of 7. Learned assembly x86 at age of 9, C at the age of 13, C++ at the age of 14.

Proper education and genuine curiosity taught me the rest. I am passionate about both technical tactical and business strategic stuff.

I am a generalist. When I can, I like to iterate on the frontend UI/UX and build nice smooth products, but I end up often touching system architecture, backend, databases, cache, servers etc. I strive to reduce complexity, increase cohesion of code modules and make things easier for the CPU and for the human beings.

I like to keep myself update and experiment with the latest technologies but I like to make pondered decisions on what the company should use.

Looking for a smart co-founder!

    Sure, "good person" may sound generic. But he is still a good person trying to do the right things. To me it sounds like the board is afraid of being sued and needs to clearly appo…

    Well, they must have believed that leaving Sam as CEO was a bigger risk for the company (or the members of the board) than having him leaving in the spot. The board may have had th…

    Well, they must have believed that leaving Sam as CEO was a bigger risk for the company than having him leaving. Or the board had their hand twisted. What is easier the case?

    I suppose there is a need of a trusted 3rd entity that runs the service. Otherwise anybody could run the service and pretend that anybody else signed any documents they want at any…

    Making "x years of security updates" mandatory is likely to end up in a warning disclaimer every time you turn on the TV after x years: "This device does not receive any more secur…

    Solid advice. I think you are at a point that require deep introspection. It does not matter what others think. You need to take a day with your destiny.
