Founder of the Hype Machine (http://hypem.com), a music app launched in 2005 that keeps track of new music on the internet.
We used to have the Now Playing Last.fm support, but took it out as Last.fm faded from the spotlight a few years ago.
It's still one of my favorite services (scrobbling is life-changing) though, but we aren't even sure if it's worth the overhead to keep the Now Playing support active (requires more resources).
Attribution is not a distraction.
Are the tracks handpicked? If not, what is the overall method?
Why is there no attribution if the tracks are clearly from websites that have recommended the music?
It's easy to think this is impressive, but the reader forgets about the number of years Ryan has worked on creating businesses. He has made awesome stuff, but all that time can't be ignored. The suggestion that others can easily do it too if only they were less "messed up/caught up in old manufacturing ways", is some smug shit.
These crazy hard-working Americans are trying to figure out their first startup, with very limited resources. It's a different game, and they are in a different place in the food chain.
I am sure if they too have sold multiple companies and worked in the industry for 10+ (?) years, they too would adopt all kinds of relaxed ways of working and running firms. I agree that if they still work long hours after that, it is misguided as you point out.
But lets not get carried away with how the 1% works. How many days a week did you work on your first company?
