We don't have data on this, but Shopify is not growing because of Amazon sellers opening up Shopify stores. The sets of businesses on Shopify vs Amazon are largely distinct. For example, most Amazon sellers are resellers of brand products; few of these are shifting to sell though their own e-commerce website.

We checked seller growth on competing marketplaces like eBay, Walmart, Google Shopping, etc. and found it to be the opposite - none are seeing accelerated seller growth.

"Looking for your passion, purpose, or calling is an example of the fixed mindset. You’re assuming that this is an inherent and unchanging thing inside of you, like trying to read your DNA or blood type. But you won’t find passion and purpose there, because that’s not where those feelings come from.

Passion and purpose are emotions that come after expertise and experience. The way to get them is to commit to the path of mastery, get great at something, and do great work."

Mine has switchable backgrounds ("Don't like the speaker look? Go with serious, punk, scottish or racing driver."). Many people have commented about this when meeting in person.

I got people to come. A small success

I'm doing this now(1), almost 300 days into it. Currently have lived in 13 countries(2). I work as I travel so haven't done too many crazy places, but definitely have learned a lot of things I would do differently now. Finishing this in October, going to be a long story to share. Was worth every single stress-minute.

Just did one myself using a X-keys pedal (http://www.piengineering.com/xkeys/xkfoot.php) - https://twitter.com/juokaz/status/215915867895119872 Works brilliantly. Main pedal to go to insert mode, left one to save the file and right one to switch tabs.

It's not really for Windows people. It runs on Windows, but a normal PHP app can be deployed to it too. So as much as there is negativism against Windows, this doesn't require knowledge of it or using of any of it's features.

What's different now is the flexibility of live-change configuration and once it goes live - much better (think cheaper) pricing.

Yes, it does. It can also import from .htaccess quite fine.

It's not really good platform from developers perspective, the one deploying stuff. But it's not a bad platform from platform perspective and allows great things to be built on top who actually make it fine for developers. Makes sense?..

Author here, I think this sentence missed what I was trying to say completely. Wrong wording, my fault...
