    Hootsuite also started as an agency side project, and I'm sure there are more. Intentionally following this model doesn't seem sensible though; with VC money so accessible if you h…

    Very well done! I had started on a similar idea a while back, but never got around to it. Even have a cute domain for it (pifork.com) in case you're interested :)

    Having been in your position, I understand that having built a product from the ground up makes you feel like you are qualified to do anything. I was lucky enough to get hired at a…

    I've recently joined a team writing primarily in Clojure, whose proponents often tout repl-driven programming as a unique benefit to the language. In a statically typed language (t…

    Here at Hootsuite we just finished rolling out webpack, and we're using it with grunt. If there is interest, I could probably get the project lead to do a writeup on our code blog.…
