Alan's one of the most thoughtful engineers I know. No surprise to see this post from him. Nice job!

Shouldn't this have a field for the salary you make at the startup?

Makes total sense. This is an important point for many of our customers so I appreciate you calling it out. Thanks!

Thanks, John. Best part of this job is hearing from happy customers. :)

(Disclaimer: founder of Keen IO here.) That's a bit misleading, I think. The full paragraph: You are solely responsible for any content and other material that you submit, publish,…

Yeah, I was wondering that too!

CTO of Keen IO here. The ingest side isn't too crazy. We're doing between 50-100 insert-type requests per second per server (although we run multiple instances of Tornado per serve…

Love this. At the very least, you get a +1 from me.

It's inexcusable from a PR standpoint. It's sad to think how much more love they could have received from the community.

That's definitely not true.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough when I wrote it, but my intention was to show that, while I wrote that version of the post, I realized it was stupid (not just the post, but the idea). …

Thanks, Nat. :)

I had an amazing time doing TechStars Cloud this year. Definitely apply if you're considering it (or even if you're not). Happy to answer any questions about it if people have them…

Every company incentivizes its employees to behave in certain ways, and one of the main ways to incentivize is through monetary reward. We're big believers in keeping our employees…
