@neilgorman @TransistorFM Nice! Listening to your first episode now.

Good sound and production quality! 👍

(Also, good use of narrative with the lightning/fire story)

@adii It's true.

@dohertyjf @brennandunn sorry, how do you mean 301 redirect my name?

Replying to @asmartbear
@asmartbear @arlogilbert Are you saying 2 years is too long of a runway for bootstrapped startups, or "about right?"

Also: isn't the decision to go "full-time" contextual? For Basecamp full-time meant $40k salaries.

@ZoCodes The beauty of having side-projects is that it's OK if they do fail.

Instead of heaping unrealistic expectations on our ideas we can let them live (or die) on their own merits.

@dchymko Definitely my Twitter audience (because it isn't potable).

But email I'm fine, because I can take that list of contacts anywhere. (It's open and distributed. 👍)

@dchymko In some ways, I'm OK with that. I don't mind supporting private businesses! It's the amount of power we're giving Amazon in our industry that worries me.
