Biggest startup lesson from when Apportable was just you and Ian?

Biggest lesson for other startups now that you're a much bigger team?

Just 10x more densely packed.

Awesome, thanks so much. When we're done with iPhone at Strings we just might give Apportable a shot.

I'm coming from the startup side of things, where we'd have vesting to handle the problem of employees turning over (usually stock vests after a one year cliff, then a bit every every month after that, with the whole package vesting after 3 or 4 years total).

  • How does phantom stock differ from a vesting schedule, and what benefits/tradeoffs come with that?
  • Is it relevant for privately held startups or mostly just public companies? Both?
  • How do employees actually get ownership over phantom stock, or is that not possible?

Can you talk a bit about how Deephaven works? I haven’t heard of Parquet; my wild guess is Parquet helps query what is stored and streamed from Kafka?

Also do you have any cool intros or tutorials for an existing python dev who mostly works on Django apps?
