Cofounder of Famous here - this is quite accurate and very well done
More historical videos like this please
"while writing coffeescript code in sublime text" why would you call me out like this?
Would be cool if you have more historical tech startup stories like this. One can learn a lot from failure. Great vid.
Hi, I was the former founder / CTO and stayed until 2021. Looking back, I'd say that our main accomplishment was that we had a pivotal role in pushing the browsers to care about rendering performance so that they can actually be a viable app platform. There were many lessons learned, but if I was to provide just one takeaway, it'd be that for a company to succeed, it must have a solid business behind it.
HTML5 was massively successful! Zuck's quote was about building a thin wrapper over HTML5 as a mobile app strategy, not HTML5 as a whole.
Man this gave me a flashback of how hard life used to be when we had to cope with changing technology. Now we sit back and vibe code a whole lot of spaghetti.
You done good... at knowing that I need a prostate exam.
Woohoo, the humor has found its way back into Fireship.
This is like my old old job. We invented hotmail 2 years before hotmail came out. It had PGP encryption and 1kb/s voice recording. Encrypted message storage (on the floppy). Brilliant copy protection (because we sent a lot to China). Instead of being web based, it was an executable on a floppy disk. I'm most proud of writing the "get out of networks" code, that made it just work, find an smtp server it could use through DNS look ups for smart common names, and port scanning. Then hotmail came out with its giant marketing campaign. Just unlucky timing.
