  • The guys talk at length about the dangers of monoculture.
  • Frank reminisces about the Winchester Mystery House, drawing a parallel to Google’s cobbled-together cloud services.
  • Frank’s fishing analogy steals the show: when you get a hit, reel in the other lines to avoid tangles. Focus, people!
  • The guys debate the delicate balance of focus vs innovation in startups.
  • The pick of the week is DigitalOcean: cheap and simple cloud hosting.
