There's also the great story about Squarespace, FogCreek and Peer1 employees doing a bucket brigade of fuel up to their generators to keep things up. That's awesome commitment to their customers and business.

Here is an article detailing the valor of the Squarespace team. Honestly I'm a little startled by how many sloshing buckets of fuel their infrastructure must consume per day. http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/01/squarespace-fog-creek-peer1...

This is so awesome. One it's cool to see a company care so much about it's customers and its reputation. Two, it's amazing how much fuel they need to fun

If you're up for a listen, they discuss this on the latest episode of the Stack Exchange podcast, with Anthony Casalena (CEO and founder of Squarespace) and Fog Creek/Stack Exchange employees.

It's quite a story.
