83k euro/month burn rate it's definitely a lot for a startup, but i KNOW it can be like that or even worse.

Thanks for sharing this. I could have written almost the same article, but probably my english would have ruined it. Good luck with your next project!

You could avoided the "Dalton's full of shit". That would have made your response a great piece of information for people (MAYBE like Dalton) who were just trying to learn more, their way.

BTW: that would have also proven the fact that there is no such a thing as "special snowflake".

1. I can see "why" proving those opinions (to have them become "facts" for you) publicly might not be "the best thing to do" for whoever is writing. Same goes for anybody saying "i have had this experience before".

2."any top-tier MBA has classmates" means that _not all_ MBA grads have ridiculously high salary.

3. i can ensure you that 120k as an average salary, for anybody working in a startup (the word "startup" is in the link title), might be considered "too much" although it depends on where the startup is. Considering the fact that he doesn't mention "USA" or "Harvard" you'll have to consider much more than that portion (so you didn't actually provided any fact, but just learned how difficult could be to prove it).

With this said, i personally see a "comparison"...so "ridiculously high" might imply "compared to what an MBA grad might make per year in his startup"...which (for a person that feels special) can result into a "probably i don't earn enough" kind of thoughts. I think that's why, i believe, you find that sentence inside the paragraph "Entitlement".

i can see what you mean...but it's not an article to entirely throw away. I see how a few thoughts could actually make sense (at least in my head)....and i think "facts for backing it up" requires experience on the field...which he says he had. It's enough for me (nobody will ever share a full life of experiences in an article to prove he's "right").

Coworking Spaces 13 years ago

These are 4 good reasons to Join workspaces like that :) http://www.sharedesk.net/blog/2013/06/4-reasons-to-join-coll...

I use headphones but i don't mind people talking around me, sometimes it's energizing. Obviously you have to choose the right one.

Good thing is that you can also just try them for a week (and that's what i did at the beginning)...after a while i decided to co-found ShareDesk. :P

You have to find the right one, but YES, they are definitely places where to be more productive. Try!

OK, that's cool...and new, right?

Now we just need lower fees to make developers happier...or a service that can match the high fees (eg. possibility of create and manage affiliates, more payment methods, discounts, etc.)

now everything makes more sense. (but i still believe in what i've said)

Plus: since i've the honor to talk to you...i was thinking about joining wrapbootstrap...but you have ACE Admin (and others) which, for people that just upload their first template, are "way too much on top".

That really didn't help me (and really doesn't help new comers)...it's what i actually believ being a big problem of wrapbootstrap.

Do you see that as well?
