How David and I Decided to Leave Instapaper
In late 2010, tumbler was going through some significant growing pains. It was about to expand massively into a huge new office,. And so my role was going to change dramatically and to be much more of a people manager rather than a tech contributor. So we decided, hey, let's part in good terms. This is cool. I'll step out now. In 2011, I started building analyze with Dan Benjamin. That's what got me into podcasting as a producer.
Marco tells the story of how he became a Mac enthusiast, indie app developer and tech podcaster, covering his work on Tumblr, Instapaper, Overcast and Accidental Tech Podcast, among other projects. He also explains why he thinks it's so important to maintain the open Web and podcasting through RSS, in the face of more exclusive publishing platforms and audio hosts.
