Today is the one year anniversary of Jeff Bezos's last letter as Amazon CEO. They were hugely valuable for me and there was no audio version, so I narrated it myself. I'm republishing and recording starting with the 1997 one and will introduce a new one weekly.

Happy listening!

Re:Ask HN: Most of team quit my startup. What to do? on Tuesday November 15, 2016 @02:33AM (#12956296)
Don't stay for obligation so ask yourself if you honestly still believe - it sounds like you don't.

If you don't still believe, pull off the band aid and tell the founders you plan to leave. However, tell them you'll stay with them through the new year to 1) buy you time and 2) not burn bridges with them.

Ask HN: Online Paid tutor services for programming?

As a hobbyist programmer, sometimes Stack Overflow just doesn't get you there. Anyone know of a service that lets you pay per minute or per hour for programming help to unblock you?If there isn't a formal site offering this but someone is interested (I'd happily pay $75/hr - though probably in 15m chunks), let me know.

Ask HN: Real-time Altitude API useful?

Hey all,Want your feedback!We have a way to provide the real-time vertical altitude of a device, accurate to 5 feet, queried through an API. Seems to us that it’d be helpful for drone coordination to continuously adjust AGL and avoid collision.

10M is cool and Amplitude is an amazing service. Pretty lame the way you're trying to hijack the thread.
Re:10M events a month, free on Wednesday August 05, 2015 @06:03PM (#10013202)
I can vouch for that. Free is great value (though we are now Premium). Amplitude has been tremendous to use and I can't say enough great things about it as a customer.

Want Analytics? It's spelled Amplitude.

This looks awesome. Going to ping my team to get us set up. How quickly can we integrate?
