I've gotten messages from people who didn't even know how to open the log viewer until hours into the process, so it's just a highly variable delay depending on individual circumstances.
Thanks, I've updated the post in response to this suggestion from you & a few others. Might need to force refresh your browser to see it.
All add a note about the log buffer, thanks.
I'll add that note. People with problems tended have >100k or more files.
I've re-written the instructions a few times since I first posted it. Once it gets into conflicts and problems I can't cover everything, and I don't want to give a dozen commands for people to paste in and run for various scenarios and then screw people up more. I'll add a note to merge instead of replace, though, thanks!
Not that I know of. If you find a way to do that I'll add it to the post.
At one point the FBI accidentally seized his servers. He's pretty paranoid about redundancy and multi-site online data storage after that.

No, the test process doesn't usually peg the CPU. Single threaded database connection usage in the test process is the problem.
Faster rspec: spork & parallel_tests runner. One test process per CPU core, and a preloaded rail environment, test run split across processes.
I took it to mean that the author is either on or off with such things, and couldn't merely cut down. I'm the same way. One cup of coffee a day is an impossible dream for me, I'd have to totally quit instead.
If your business experience is in talking with and listening to other people, it is valuable. If you know about marketing or sales, it is valuable.
Instead of worrying about what to do, worry about how to meet people that are also interested in building things. The rest follows from there.
If you've got friends to explore with, the question becomes "what do we do?" instead of "what do I do?" and it's a more powerful mental place to start from. Still scary but not such an overwhelming existential question.
Once you've got exposure to the world you want to be in, you'll find your place. In the mean time, make sure you're saving money so you're capable of doing something about the opportunity you find, once you find it.
You're perhaps over-thinking your situation.
Putting your money where your mouth is will help outsiders take you seriously. Starting a business with your own money is the least shady thing you could possibly do.
Political affiliation or activities can result in protected-class status in a few jurisdictions in the US (DC and NY at least, I believe), sometimes only under certain circumstances. Check your particular state's non-discrimination laws to be sure.
That said, if you get along with the person and they can contribute to the team and they're also OK with disagreeing with you on these issues, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm a gay atheist, and I have a close friend who's actually an evangelical pastor. We get along just fine despite our radical differences in outlook because we respect each other.
Culture is about how you communicate, what you value, and how to make difficult decisions as a company. Consider at what level those values sit.
Human interaction can't just be a checklist. A person is more than just a Facebook profile.
Selling to an enterprise at enterprise rates involves a particular kind of sales force and development plan that adds additional costs, decreasing net profit more than you'd expect.
It would detract focus from the core mission of the software — simple communication for small teams. They'd lose their story, which is what sells the product.
NewServers have per-hour pricing on dedicated servers.

About the title, "Blocking I/O: it's not just for pansies".
Whether the title wording is ironic or sincere -- and I'm guessing it's used jokingly -- using it presumes a very specific shared outlook with the reader that is, likely as not, wrong. Certainly wrong in my case.
I'm not claiming the title is homophobic. I claim it's distracting to some portion of readers and serves to introduce the actual content of the linked submission poorly. The submission title does not nearly reflect the attitude or writing in the actual linked post which is, in comparison: specific, technical, and non-abrasive.
