Chris, thanks for visiting! I did not realize that and I'll post an update to make that clear. I wasn't trying to necessarily point you out as a cheapskate (you were just an easy target), but rather point out the fact that a lot of startups don't pay their developers enough. I was mostly defending Guy because Kristen said he paid too much - I disagree. If it makes you feel any better, I'm a cheapskate, too - I just have to stick up for developers since I started out as one.

Hey Jesse - thanks for the mention, your post made me laugh out loud. If you did a little more homework (try searching my blog for Askablogr references), you'd learn that Askablogr isn't a company, it's a demonstration project for how little it costs to build and ship functional software. Guy's making a similar point with his projects, he's just telling the story a little differently. Don't get me wrong - I *am* a cheapskate - but if you're going to slag someone online you owe it to them to get your facts straight first. Cheers!
