Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's not a typo. They are two different sentences with slightly different meaning. Access as a noun or access as a verb.
Out of curiosity and please forgive me as I'm leaning ESL, but shouldn't it be either "Instant access to x podcasts" or "Instantly access x podcasts"?

#182As a software SaaS CISO, who also pentests and determines partner risk - I take the approach of not sharing such in depth details. Articles like this are fantastic fingerprinting recon for those that look to compromise sites.
Pretty sure a blackhat with nmap and a few hours would be a lot more effective than trying to glean something from this blogpost.
Sharing is caring, be secure not paranoid :)

#183I ran a small company like this quite successfully earlier in my career. If you think this is awesome what goes unmentioned is how lonely it can get. Also, any issues you have (business or technology) you bear the brunt of alone. A coworking space doesn't really help either imo, if you like working with others you will miss having coworkers. Just something I think worth mentioning if you think this is something you m…
(author of this blog post here) The hardest part of building this business is to keep motivated for a relatively long period of time. I'm still early in this startup journey. This is only the 2nd year of me working full-time on Listen Notes. I think it would be helpful to surround yourself with like-minded people (online or offline) -- we are social animals.

Years ago Joel Spolsky on his site "Joel on Software" had a "Business of Software" forum where a lot of very small ISVs hung out and discussed items of mutual interest. Anyone know where those kinds of folks hang out now to discuss things?

#186I am curious though, since I am using Google Cloud (App Engine in particular) for most of my company's modest backend needs: Would Google AE be able to handle all these backend requirements as well (but obviously without all the configuration and setup required)? Or asked another way: When is the point when you should move away from something easy and low-hassle such as GAE to something more advanced that requires a bit more manual configuration like setting up your own AWS servers?
Not trying to be critical, just honestly trying to learn from folks that know better than I.

#187I run a similar, maybe even more boring stack for my less-than-one-person company [PyDist]( https://pydist.com ): - PostgreSQL database - Nginx proxy in front of Django apps for UI and API servers (I use gunicorn instead of uWSGI though) - Cron jobs which invoke django-admin commands to keep the PyPI mirror in sync Perhaps the only place I'm any fancier than OP is that my deploy script is in Python, not shell, since…

#188Are there no load balancer replicas? It looks like a single point of failure for the entire service ( and it runs Redis and RabbitMQ - yikes).

This feels like bragging but I also run a one man company and the loneliness is what I enjoy most. Granted, I only work from 08:45 to 14:30 and some hours in the evening, because I bring my kids to school and I pick them up in the afternoon, but the hours when I’m alone, I am 100% productive. When the kids are at home I mostly do some kind of manual labor to get some sort of exercise. Right now I’m building a shed. L…
Did you quit work to start this, or did you manage to work around your day job?
