Chris, as a kind of sidebar to this, we talk about hosting things on our own site. I’ve always kind of thought this should be 1 piece of software we use for everything. I think that way becau…
Scott, as someone who's studied evolutionary biology, I know that specialists in particular areas are almost always exponentially better at what they do than non-specialists. This doesn't mean that we don't need alternate projects or new ideas which may result in new "Cambrian explosions," and even better products. I also feel that one needs the…
Angelo Gladdding unveils the quiet power of Canopy
