2 records

Subscriptions and tools that endure long enough to compound. The first question is not which is best — it is which is still here in ten years. We read run-time, ownership stability, and the patience of the operator.

Services that endure — the case for ten-year-old subscriptions

A note on how to choose a service you'll stay with. The first question is not which service is best; it is which service is still here in ten years. We look at run-time, course stability, and the patience of the operator — not at landing-page promises.
