Large holders of Tether would be pretty dumb to short it, as they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. If Almeda indeed knows something the rest of the market doesn't, they would (assuming rational action) quietly be exiting their position.
They could do both, cut their losses by selling and selling high, buying low other people's Tether, depends on how much of their own holdings they can liquidate.
Totally agree, from a technical point of view, PHP would not be our first choice (or second, or third, etc). However, since our customers need to install this on their own infrastructure, we were rather limited in options.
The first $1 is easy.... If you're struggling to attract a single customer you seriously need to re-evaluate what you're doing. As mentioned earlier in the comments; doubling from MRR from $40,000 to $80,000 is a way bigger challenge than making that first buck.
There are other ways to test legacy code rather the applying unit testing. If no testing is present at all, unit testing is not likely the correct approach and function/integration testing (using a PhantomJS for example) might be more suitable.
Sounds like you were NOT running a business, but the business you built was running you. In other words, you created a job for yourself, rather then a business.
Yes, that's probably very true but it's amazing how long it took me to realise and finally bite the bullet to move on. Basically I really enjoyed running my own business but I didn't like the business was running. It's also really hard to walk away from something you built and was actually bringing in a decent profit (and still is for the new owners). As a disclaimer I still don't like what I do as its in a similar area, but the reduced stress and stable pay check make it more fulfilling, especially whilst I save up the collateral and figure out the actual business I want to run.
Yes - 0 through 2 can be shuffled. Sometimes you can just ask questions and get answers. Sometimes people can't visualize the need until you put something in front of them. Those first few steps are also more iterative than I showed, though 3 and 4 are more sequential.
There are other ways of testing which are more suitable, at least until you get your code base to the point where unit tests can more easily be applied. Smoke tests, functional tests, integration tests, QA, are workable solutions to build an initial testing harness around legacy code.
After staring at your site for a solid 2 minutes, scanning back and forth, I still haven't gotten a clue what it is that your product/service does...
Also, a major fail IMO, the share buttons are covering the first paragraph of text. This being the first written content visitors will be looking at, you better make this readable as most people aren't as patient as I am and will not stick around...
I did think the site content was quite simple to understand, it's a platform that deals in comms, planning, storage for teams. Putting people together to build product and manage their workflow.
If it was a case of 2mins reading and you still have no idea then that is certainly puzzling.
That's a rather lame response, coming from the guy who submitted this and who's clearly affiliated. If you're only posting this for the "Oooh's" and "Ah's", you might want to submit it elsewhere.
You'd definitely come across more professional when taking criticism to heart rather then getting all defensive.
It's not exactly criticism though? There's no real structure to what you provided beyond "I don't get it". Would be very happy to advise further if you could expand upon your initial post?
Content certainly always needs updated and every rewrite can make things clearer. Equally though if critique is given, if it can be more direct to specific parts of the content or questions raised that can facilitate a response to help drive understanding, it can provide much more help in making things better.
If you note, you mentioned the share buttons overlapping the content on the left. This bug has been fixed, so your post itself has achieved the required result.
Same here! A lot of startups play with your nerves using some guided tour - this is a clear indication that their UX failed miserably. Or maybe the target user base is mentally challenge people.
Could be a tour is used to aid UX? A quick run through to help all levels of users understand the features they will be using. You can always hit the cancel button if you have no need to view it.
