"Hello! I'm Collis, in 2006 I cofounded Envato, the company behind ThemeForest, CodeCanyon, and Tuts+."

Never heard of any of them. Or Envato. What are they?

basically a marketplace for developers to sell products. I think they started with themeforest which basically website templates/wordpress themes, now they have tons of other sites which include things like sound effects, stock video, etc.

I noticed that Envato hosted an Elixir meetup. Have you guys been using it in production? If so how has it worked for you guys?

Whoops, viewing from a mobile app so didn't realize it was a link to the AMA. Ignore me :)

You may know me as the founder of Aviato, from the hit TV show 'Silicon Valley'.

The President of the United States chooses to use Reddit for their IAMA post. This guy wants us to use his Wordpress website? No thanks. Seems like a scam to collect data on us and that's No Bueno.
