That's an interesting question because Patrick has gained a ton of experience since then, selling BCC, then doing Appointment Reminder, Starfighter and quite a few years of working for Stripe. Surely that would have resulted in additional insights. He's still active here so maybe he'll chime in.


I was going to ask if any significant changes were made to Tarsnap based on Patrick's previous advice. A cursory inspection of the website indicates "No". Pricing is the same, the messaging is still aimed at geeks, the website design is similar.

If anyone knows of changes that were made, please share.


To be honest it looks like reync.net read the article and took it's advice instead. They have a CEO page, though based on the first time the way back machine saw it it might be that patio11 took inspiration from them. [0]
