I’m proud of what we did.

I’m also sorry, because it doesn’t make sense for me to telecommute from California to Switzerland, so I have moved on. Flying from San Francisco to Geneva once a month doesn’t work, nor does building a second engineering team in SF. So that’s it. It was worth a shot.

What’s next? News coming soon.
