Bootstrapping loneliness. What do you do when you're
independent and you're not working for a big company?

The risk of "relational churn." People you know will move
away, and gradually you'll lose friendships over time.

We're starting the 3rd week of our 6-week dev cycle (inspired
by Basecamp's "Shape Up"). Justin already wants to ship it.

How we're managing new ideas / bug requests without a backlog
