#5Wow, I'm amazed by the progress. I remember when IFTTT was above the DevBootcamp hq on 5th and Market and I stopped by to visit (which would have been early-mid 2012). I remember the cute dog and still have some craigslist alerts going that I set up shortly after. Also remember talking about their goal of getting the average person to do programming-like tasks in terms of setting up chains of conditionals and actions.
Also, the name still makes me think of Riften from Skyrim.

#6IFTTT strikes me as the canonical example of a useful, small project that people would pay for that instead got stars in its eyes. For the moment, it's a great example of venture capitalists subsidizing a useful adapter cable for Internet services. But I get nervous when infrastructure gets delusions of grandeur. If 'cron' suddenly acquired a staff of 40, I would start looking for alternatives.

#7Was going to ask how IFTTT differs from Zapier, then found the following article somewhat useful:

In case others had the same question.

How accessible is Cron to people?
For the consumer, almost all aspects of computing are becoming ubiquitous: except programming. Tools like those provided by IFTTT are enabling people to do more with their devices.
Someday, programming will also be ubiquitous (it probably won't even be called programming anymore).

Agreed.
