How do you deal with failures of the stateful actor? What if it fails before it has replicated a state change to the durable store?

Whatever you do, stay away from 43folders.com. You might think there's a ton of useful info there about being more productive, but you never overcome the time debt you'll accrue by going back through the archives, which is unfortunately, impossible to not do.

I've thought about this a bit too, now that I'm married and have a house. There's just no way to take a large chunk of time off from salaried work for speculative startup work. In essence, we've become wage slaves.

I think once you get to this point and still want to launch some sort of venture, the best course of action is to fund it yourself with your wage-work and carve time out of your personal life, on top of your existing job. It's brutally hard, especially when you start to add kids to the mix. The benefit of doing it this way is that you have an almost unlimited runway to launch from, as long as you can afford the personal time to spend on the project. There is no crash n' burn scenario as there would be with a limited amount of startup funding and the timeframe that implies.

Does this position have to do with that post that Andrew Shebanow made asking for feedback? (http://shebanation.com/2009.... I remember he had updated the post to say that the response was overwhelming and Palm didn't know quite how to handle it.

I guess they found a solution, in you.

Congratulations. It'll be interesting to see how you put your beliefs about feedback and community to work, and how it will compare with the iPhone developer community

Dan, I'm interested in knowing how you build your iPhone enterprise app business case, because the technology is new there are not many executive types who carry an iPhone for work yet. How did you guys justify the cost of developing an iPhone app at this time?

I'd like to get my employer to go down the same road but I feel that they'd need to see a pretty solid argument for the cost
