The word "startup" has almost reached the status of buzzword. "Cloud based startup" would have been even better..

One of the topics I cover the most there is the difference between startups and agencies/freelancing.

While startups tend to look at results (the ones that survive), agencies tend to look at the customer, at least most of them.

I actually believe that most designers coming from an agency would be eaten alive in a startup, along with their "photoshop skills". This people don't even know what UX means, never conducted a usability test (usability = I look at the website and say what I think), and definitely don't read HN.

The use of "startup" along Amazon Associate links with very little value-add makes this page seem spammy.
Hi, there are no Amazon Associate links: the only one Amazon Associate link I can think about is with Flanagan's book, and Mr. Flanagan is the associate, not me. I just thought removing it wouldn't have been polite.

When I could link the book's website, I did it.

My apologies, then. I probably moused-over the one link that did have the code.
No problem at all, it happens.
