They typically publish post-mortems, I think? Not 100% sure. They definitely do in-house.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Let me bet: it's DNS.

It's always DNS.

Gotcha. So that could make sense. Someone could start with the coaching, then downgrade to this option instead of just cancelling due to price once they don't use the coaching services enough.

i.e., it would help you with churn a bit, I think.

What would it do? I looked (probably too) briefly...and thought the the main value was mostly the coach. Or at least, the value I saw that I was "OMG, we need this in French _now_".

If you compare that to paying for a dietitian, it's actually not TOO bad. BUT, I think churn will be high due to price.

I could see a declining fee model. Just a thought.

We are trying a low FODMAP for my wife. I could see her paying for it for 2-3 months, then we would probably find that expensive at $29/w...but, if after 3 months, it went down to say $29 per month, then it would totally make sense as we would use it a lot less, I think.

At least if we compare to when she stopped gluten, lactose and a few other things 6 years ago...the worst was the first 2-3 months.

Oh god, love it! This is not that expensive if you compare to having someone helping you that you pay for, and need to get a meeting with.

On the business side, I would assume churn will be pretty high after a few months.

It is, they are downloading slugs from S3.

Wow that sucks!

I moved to mailgun yesterday. I run an alert system for Google Analytics, so I can't afford delays of more than a minute, and even then...

So far so good with mailgun!

Thanks for the info on Sparkpost, definitely not tempted to move there ;)

I love the trolly title :)

BTW, the real title is 374, not 347.

Having hired a bunch of people, including juniors out of school, I'll tell you this: apply, just apply.

A job description and requirement is their picture of the ideal candidate, but they will hire the person that's the closest to that, and other things not mentioned in the offers like how you would fit culturally in the team, work with others, and so many other things.

Just apply to what you want to do, what's the worst case again? Ah, you spent time writing a cover letter.

Btw, keep your cover letter short. People might not read it if it's too long.

Another last tip: apply even if you are almost certain you won't have it. Never say "I'll apply when I get more experience". You know what? By then, you will change, the company will change, and it might not be a good fit anymore. I wanted to apply to a couple of specifics startups in the past that I never applied too because I felt like I was not up to it, in the end, I was wrong and the company changed so much that I don't want to work there anymore at all, but I'm sure that would have been great for years.

Apply. Just apply.

btw, I'm not sure this still works, but I wrote a blog post on how to get from zero to a fully working Drone CI in less than 10 minutes, pretty sure it still works as the basics didn't change much.

This CI server is so easy to get up and running, it's impressive! I'm more a fan of hosted solutions like Circle, Travis or Codeship but this is what I would use if I had the need to have my own CI installed.

We just shipped that a few days ago. As far as we know, we're the only way to do this. Let us know what you think :)

I guess colors were picked up based on psychology, and for design, yes, it's similar. Maybe it's actually the same person/people? Who knows! :)

I love how the pricing is clearly value based and not cost based. I can't imagine that this is massively more complex, but the price is significantly higher (and it's fine), basically, more enterprise-y. I love it!

Wondering if/how that will impact their bigger integration plans that includes a feature to replay data for new integrations you add after the fact.

I'm the author, curious to know what you think! :)

I left the PHP community years ago, but...but...where is PHP 6? What was the reason to skip it?

I'm the author, let me know what you think about it!
