Startup Lessons Learned
SEPTEMBER 15, 2008
In recent years, weve also got great new options all up and down the stack, in particular things like Amazon EC2 and RightScale (none of which would be possible without the free software movement). Since that time we've seen a massive change from product engineering to financial engineering. Good stuff. Great blog!

While you dialed AOL to get on the Internet, the goal of AOL was to keep you locked into their proprietary content and thus earned the classification of “walled garden.&# They had a proprietary browser, their own search engine, their own content, chat rooms, email system, etc. Social Networking Will Split Into Layers.

They had a proprietary browser, their own search engine, their own content, chat rooms, email system, etc. Yes, social networks of 2010 have much better usability, have better developed 3rd-party platforms and many more people are connected.

We picked a write oriented benchmark using the standard Cassandra "stress" tool that is part of the product, and Denis ran and analyzed the tests on Amazon EC2 instances. The time taken by EC2 to create 288 new instances was about 15 minutes out of our total of 66 minutes. This team is currently looking for an additional engineer.

Maybe it is a publicly accessible staging server at EC2 spun up by a developer who has since left the company and not shut down because, hey, $20 a month. Maybe it is a 20% project by a junior engineer which he has on the back burner for the moment. Maybe it is the customer support portal at admin.example.com. X at the moment.

You can measure this yourself: go to any list of startups, maybe look at YCombinator’s recent graduate class , or Scoble’s list of picks for 2010 , or Sequoia’s list of seed companies — or go find a list you like better. It’s also missing the point of engineering anything. How about ABAPer? Elaine Kenny.
