Weird, when worlds collide. I never think about software development as it relates to companies like this but we've had an Honest diaper (and other stuff like sunblock/shampoo) subscription for our 1.5 yr old nugget pretty much since her birth and we've been really impressed with how the company seems to be run and supports it's customers. Stoked to see growth from you guys :)
