100%. Ignoring the fact that sometimes founders feel the need to put their stamp on everything, for startups and scaleups that haven't progressed to corporate slog, I think it's ne…

It’s a clear headed decision. Every euro of it needs to be spent on infrastructure. We can’t fix the shit weather but we can try to bring the country up to modern standards. IMO, f…

I started my post-PhD career as a one-man-band "full-stack" shop on the back of meteor. I remember developing prototypes overnight between client meetings and blow minds with a ful…
