I had the privilege to work at Amazon for 6 years, and Jeff Barr was my first manager. I convinced him to hire me through Second Life - read the full story here: http://brunozzi.com/20…

You being one of the founders, I found your HN username amusing :) I like that you're attacking a real problem. Good luck.

Easier to get to Europe, and seek a job in Germany.

I met Jeremy and the DataRobot team at Techstars Cloud (San Antonio, TX), where I was a mentor. You didn't need to be a genius to know that they were going to do well. Congrats for this series A!

Did you use them? Are they trustworthy?
comment
LOL.

I think we still think about College with too much "baggage" in our minds. I am wondering if there's an even more revolutionary approach - for example, continuous education, where evalu…

Agree, and I noticed it as well. It is weird because sometimes these changes are so obviously dumb.

degio knows Riverbed well :) (good to see you Loris)

Weird. Title has changed now - and I preferred the original one.
comment

Multiple clouds is the killer app - that's a key thing that nobody offers at the moment.

comment
Seems interesting. I don't see mentions to CloudWatch, perhaps it is simply not in the index.

Hey - if you are in the Bay Area, I'd like to see them in person. simone brunozzi at gggmmail.

Don't throw stones on me, but... Why on HN? (besides, I am as saddened as you are. I truly loved his as an actor and comedian - I just used his acronym scene from Good Morning Vietnam 4 days ago …

Well done, Andrew! I particularly like your team photos. How long did it take to design the site, etc?
comment
Besides all the nice advice that others have added, I'll give you mine: talk to a lawyer, and have him send physical letters to the company, and to YC. The lawyer gives you two things: 1) He know…

I love that book, and I fully agree with your comment.

I tried Sysdig when it first came out - I don't claim to be an expert, but I believe that this tool is essential for any modern sys admin that is dealing with cloud environment (I was at AWS for …

Good suggestions, drbawb.
comment
Reminds me a little of CloudAcademy.com and their tests.
comment
Well, that was my guess too. Sad that no good alternative has arisen.

Well, an interesting effect down below: tens of messages (as of this writing) of people sharing their username and sending money to each other. Sounds like fun.
It also helps with HN's karma, whi…
