// This example shows how to render pages that perform AJAX calls
// upon page load.
//
// Instead of waiting a fixed amount of time before doing the render,
// we are keeping track of every resource that is loaded.
//
// Once all resources are loaded, we wait a small amount of time
// (resourceWait) in case these resources load other resources.
//
// The page is rendered after a maximum amount of time (maxRenderTime)

Almost everything that can go wrong in a startup will go wrong, and one of the biggest things that can go wrong is huge, angry, shouting matches between the founders as to who worked harder, who owns more, whose idea was it anyway, etc. That is why I would always rather split a new company 50-50 with a friend than insist on owning 60% because "it was my idea," or because "I was more experienced" or anything else. Why? Because if I split the company 60-40, the company is going to fail when we argue ourselves to death. And if you ju
