Does using a UNION OR UNION ALL query instead of a join query reduce the implication of jsonb column not having statistics, especially since the postgresql query planner might not use the nested loop join.

also read the hackernews discussion:
So to my mind your story illustrates the fact that Andrew's definition is not wrong.
What you can argue though, is that possessing the skill to make the product one is growth hacking on should not be essential in order to be a growth hacker, though having that skill would be helpful. After-all you can buy an off the shelf software or hire contractors just like the sushi guy can outsource or buy from other restaurants without making the sushi himself.
It is worrisome for me because I am a linode user and only recently created a digital-ocean droplet and after playing with it, I liked their service and was planning to host a new app with them instead of Linode while the existing one's remain with linode.
But now I am not sure?
Can any digital-ocean staff please provide a link that shows your policy for shutting down servers. I need to be sure this high handedness is not actually in your policy.
Line of action:
1. Start speaking to a lawyer. 2. Transition out of code writing role into product visionary role, so the CTO doesn't see your as someone that reports to him. You played a part in not just formulating the initial idea but in coding a prototype, so in essence you can play the role of product visionary. That is Chief Product Officer.
3. Tell you co-founder you are transitioning into a product visionary role with the title of Chief Product Officer. Read up what this role does.
4. Call for a meeting with just you and your co-founder and test his allegiance. Tell him that if a guy you hired wants to fire you then he can also team up with future investors to fire the CEO, so he is not save in the future. So due to trust issues, you intend to fire your CTO after you get a replacement. Show him a list of possible top people in the open-source world using your technology that you intend to open up communication with as possible replacement for the CTO. Sink it into his head that the CTO is replace-able and that culture fit matters more thank skills as you can get a replacement for skillset easier than getting the person with the right skillset and cultural fit. http://www.bhorowitz.com/programming_your_culture
5. Call a meeting with your CTO and tell him you plan to stop writing code and then tell him you also plan to get a new CTO to replace him because you can't have a guy you hired steal your company. Let him know he is also replace-able as you won't have hired him because of poor culture fit even though he is skillful if you knew about the schemer he is.
6. Now that you have man up to both, call a meeting with the CEO and CTO to address any issues relating to what you discussed with them.
7. Watch the shares during any round of funding, so you are not squeezed out. See the company incorporation details and ensure your name is there and you are not deceived by your other co-founder.
8. CTO's are replace-able, don't don't let someone you hired ask you to leave, so that he can take your shares. He probably overstated his importance behind your back to the CEO and asked for more shares and your co-founder felt that if he gets you out of the way he will get the more shares.
If they were bold and ruthless, you must be bold and ruthless too.
sate your importance to founding the company, idea generation, writing enough code to make the CTO, join since he knew you people were not idea only guys.
Kick that CTO out and henceforth watch your co-founder closely.
Would you call Instagram, Yammer and Youtube that were all acquired for a little over a billion dollars, lifestyle businesses?
Or except you raise venture capital, you a lifestyle business?
Based on the facts above, I submit to you that there is nothing interesting about the reference to Amy Hoy's charm (and there is nothing in there to depress a rails developer using ubuntu).
As far as I am concerned, Amy Hoy's app did not get the kind of traction they envisaged simple. Hence they shut it down.
I am sure that both jitbit's app and Amy Hoy's were not as big customer wise as that form Zendesk and Salesforce. I am sure their traffic numbers wasn't anything near what zendesk and desk.com does.
Many thanks.
Why don't you paste the exact explanation/examples that you have given here in the pop-up that comes up when we mouse over 'pay as you go' in your new pricing page.
Great job.
In reality most companies are polyglot using different languages, tools and frameworks for different features in their stack.
I am personally tied of unnecessary rants. There is no perfect programming language or framework.
Abandon the notion that there's a "right framework," and just choose one and get hacking.
So every man to what gives him joy and no need to worry about those using Api's and framework to deliver value and pay bills.
Another reason why you shouldn't respond to him, is that rather than take people's thought onboard that his negativity is unfounded in this instance, since Patrick did thesame when earning $1000, he is rather seeing it as never say anything negative about Patio11 on HN, which is not the thrust of people's response to him. See his tweet on that http://twitter.com/DanRuswick/status/285136357037326336.
People that want to hate will see reason to hate. People that want to be bitter with whatever positive post others make or whatever success they experience, will find a reason to do and would justify it, just as ruswick is doing.
It is okay to criticize patio11 or anyone if you are not blinded by pessimism and jealousy.
Stories about other startup you listed. So what's wrong with stories of how this startups made money. You mentioned implementing new technology. But any technology or opensource software not actively used in money making ventures starts to lag and eventually dies.
Why are we being hypocritical.
I feel like a point is still being missed: mobile is a channel, not a product strategy.
Instagram worked mobile first because you use it to take pictures, which you do on your phone. You also use your phone to order a taxi, and to connect with friends when out — Uber and Foursquare.
Google still has more activity on the desktop than mobile; why? Because people don't like executing intensive searches on a small screen. Viral content driven platforms do better on desktop; why? People look at and share content mostly while goofing off at work, on the computer on their desk.
Your product defines how you execute it, not the channel.
Chase user behavior, not press headlines that say "X sector is growing!"
Think like an experience designer, not like a VC.
So basically you built your own in house orm or alternative to orm using what you call repository objects . well done if it makes you win and makes your life easier.
Does it really matter whether you are using orm or repository objects provided you app is providing business value. Unfortunately, technology alone does not make an app win. So to my mind it doesn't matter whether you use a framework or not. It doesn't matter whether you use ORM or not. Just demonstrate business value to your would be customer.
I think a blog post focusing on the business value of your app will be better than any blog post on ORM bashing or rails bashing. How does anyone's use of ORM stop them from paying for your product. If it doesnt then don't alienate anyone from your customer base by trying to make what they are comfortable using to look bad. I think Stripe is using ruby but without any framework or orm but that is not the basis of their marketing communication.
If you can have a series of blog post on how to use the metrics you provide to make businesses look like consultant in the eyes of their customer, it might do you more good on the road to traction.
You get people to contribute to good causes by being able to influence them and not nag or harass or bully them.
Please get this book and read them because not all talk = influence:

I believe in what you profess but you are going about it the wrong way and even me who believe in your course find you annoying.
