Living the startup life
It’s been about a month since I left the Yahoo! Answers team to work full time on my new startup. Although I’ve been traveling quite a bit, I have gotten a lot of work done and I’ve noticed a few things:
- It can get really hot in my apartment.
- Not having to drive during rush hour (ever) is truly wonderful.
- I miss the buzz of the office and the people there.
- I like the fact that my new organization has a strict no meetings policy.
- Writing Python is a pleasure.
- Django hasn’t let me down, yet. It does just enough without getting in my way. It’s actually great.
- I can build good stuff much faster when I’m making all the decisions.
- Having no income is disconcerting.
- I do my best thinking on airplanes with a pen and paper.
- I wish I could tell more people what I’m working on. Maybe I just should? It’s all about the execution, right?

First, Congrats! :-)
Second, did you happen to travel to Israel? :-)
Third, ping me if you can to my first name @ sandler. co . il :-)
I’d love to get some input about how you are handling Python and Django. I got a couple of projects I was planning on using Django and it would be great to hear from someone that did just that…
Oh and Congrats again :-D
