Lessons I’ve learned from running a startup

by Ryan Parman • April 7, 2011 • Family Life, Projects, Work and Business • No comments

In July 2006, I co-founded a startup along with three of the smartest guys I’ve ever met. Four and a half years later, the company has just recently launched something that I’d consider pre-alpha.

You need to construct a new element, then add properties, then construct a child element, then add properties, then append the child to the parent, and [...]

A lot of work has gone into Tarzan over the past 2 months since the last release, namely: Added the ability to change the content-type of an existing object in S3.
