@Ghostcrawler If you're feeling like you're holding them back, delegate the decision making. "I know I'm busy, I'm holding you up, but I trust you to make the decisions when I can't". They know what you're doing is required and they'll appreciate the trust. Deal with the consequences later :)
@jasonfried Hey Jason, been of fan of you, 37, and your Inc column. I'm the CTO of a guest-parking SaaS startup and our pricing is significantly cheaper. Check us out https://t.co/re32fswfAR
@datepsych You can tell a person is smarter than you by observing that they continuously make poor choices that nevertheless work out in their favor by what appears to be luck.
@VCBrags UofR and USask didn’t even make the cut.. but point taken. Queens could be a little hotter and dumber. McGill and western swap hot spots for sure.
A quick summary of glaring problems we've found so far:
1) Apple has introduced an anticompetitive new 27% tax on web purchases. Apple has never done this before, and it kills price competition. Developers can't offer digital items more cheaply on the web after paying a third-party payment processor 3-6% and paying this new 27% Apple Tax.
2) Apple dictates all aspects of these links and doesn't allow them in the app's ordinary payment flow. Rather, links must be separated out into a different section of the app, away from places where users actually buy stuff.
3) Apple requires developers to open a generic web browser session, forcing the user to log in to the developer's web site again, to make a purchase. And because of #2, users will have to search all over again for the digital item they wanted to buy.
4) Apple will front-run competing payment processors with their own "scare screen" to disadvantage them.
Epic will contest Apple's bad-faith compliance plan in District Court.
@Ghostcrawler Just a video of you and your team talking about what you plan on doing, and anything on screen that compliments that vision. It would fire us all up!
