I recently found the article “The Benefits of an Office Library” and was surprised to read that company libraries were far from standard in other fields than law practices. That just doesn’t make any sense to me.

“Working out loud” is a funny way to describe how people in distributed teams communicate their work, share where they make progress, where they’re stuck, what they experience. That we’re remote from each other doesn’t mean we’re a bunch of hermits. Working out loud is an important practice to make sure we collaborate effectively.

In October 2017, our managed hosting platform freistilbox had its fifth birthday. But if we’re honest, we’ve not come as far as we should have in this time. The reason is not that in a small, bootstrapped company like ours, capacity is tight. We just didn’t use the capacity we had effectively.

The SSL protocol and early versions of its successor TLS have many known vulnerabilities. In recent years, exploits like POODLE, BEAST or Logjam got wide public attention, and on our edge routers, we’ve disabled many a cipher and hash algorithm that turned out to be too weak for proper web security.

This year in October, our managed hosting platform freistilbox had its fifth birthday. I founded freistil IT in 2010, so five years is a major part of our whole journey. Unfortunately, in all honesty (and I’m going to be candid throughout this article), we did not come nearly as far as we should have at this time. We could have a better product, and we could have grown faster, both financially and in team size.
