How we Spent the Kickstarter Money, where we are now, and what’s next for Ghost

I like ghost.org, it's clean and fast. OTOH it's not complicated or revolutionary, is it? I followed ghost for a while and was not impressed by the pace of development. New features took ages.

Anyone know why the development is so (seemingly) slow? Bureaucracy? Slow decision making?

Apart from reducing operating costs, I never thought about servers as assets. Essentially, using things like AWS for operations makes the money go away as soon as it's spent. That's a very real risk if you're striving for a sustainable business that doesn't run on ads and you don't yet know where this is going.
