So, would that mean you wouldn't invest in a supposedly Steve Jobs' new startup if he was still alive?

Good job so far, I really like it. May I ask what is the business model behind it?

This is extremely stupid to start a post with "This is extremely stupid". It adds no value and is simply offensive. Only extremely stupid people write that way.

Actually, I don't see that as a big deal. Maybe it could be tweaked to have only the first one sensitive or try the all-caps/no-caps. But still, it's all in the length of the password. I prefer to have that rather than someone forcing me to use a 6-8 characters password with at least one cap, one special or any of this bullshit.

He said he go to bed at 9, it's just a schedule shift.

What could happen is a great open source library that you could host yourself on a linode. So, it's "backend-less" in the sense that you don't have to do backend stuff, but you still have control over your databases. Seems like it's the way that spire took.. where you can use their services if you want, but you'll be able to host everything yourself because they open source mostly everything. Their challenge, a little bit like Github, is to make their service so awesome that you don't want to do everything yourself. I.e. On github you have visibility, issues, wiki, easy creation, multi-users, etc. out of the box.

My feeling is that both wants to solve the exact same problem but they decided of a different route to get there. I feel the Firebase way started more as marketting and hype, while Spire.IO is a more traditional minimalistic version of what the real thing could be. (For instance, I could write a real app on spire while it'd be impossible on firebase as there's no authentication system.)

What is the difference between this and Firebase?

Although I agree with your point, it didn't confused me at all. I've clearly understood that it was "serverless" in the sense that I don't have to build the server.

The reason why the site is being sold is missing from the sell pitch. "We have no more time to take care of it..." so why are you guys saying it's generating 20k$ a month without you doing anything?

It's a customer challenge not a technical one.

The pure white in the background hurts my eye. Isn't it a good practice to make it a little grayish?

What about the "62yo" in the title? What if it was 42 or 34, or 22 or 81?

It's bad because you have to write a long blog post about it explaining all the pitfalls, compare good to bad programers, talk about maintenance cost, etc etc.

This code:

for i in 1.100: print i

There's nothing to talk about, it's crystal clear.
