I find the idea of IRL multi-user UX really interesting. So much of modern computing is built around a 1-to-1 model of users and devices. And then multi-player, collaboration featu…

I like it! I've definitely found myself doing this while manually breaking lines in code comments

I'm guessing you mean music venues? The short answer is yes, eventually. The slightly longer answer is that we'll probably be the strongest option for smaller venues that want to d…

Very cool (well, not the getting screwed part). Most of my experience so far is on the sports side, with music exposure being more indirect. It's amazing how many ticketing systems…

Heh, I may get overly excited to tell people that we're building a Ticketmaster/Live Nation competitor... The sentiment that one is sorely needed is so common, and yet so few peopl…

Almost as a rule, in the US at least, large multi-purpose venues sign exclusive contracts with their ticketing provider. That means that all events, including any concerts that com…

That's actually not the case, estimated tax is due quarterly (ex. for income in Q1 of 2016 for which your employer doesn't withhold taxes, you have to pay estimated tax by April 15…

Heh, I always feel a bit bad when people mention this since we're not using it ourselves anymore. Though it's a nice and easy way to get going quickly if you're already running red…

Go's JSON parser ignores fields that aren't present in the destination type, so the addition of new parameters shouldn't be a problem.

All you kalman filter fans out there will be happy to hear that you can grab a ride from SideCar and some Giants tickets from SeatGeek[1] for a truly algorithmic afternoon. 1. http…

Eric from SeatGeek here. Do you happen to remember what you searched for? I'd be happy to take a look at why you got that odd result. "uconn women's basketball" seems to work for m…
