It just seems odd when he is one of the people who founded this blog it is posted on. I'm sure he has great stories to tell and things in hindsight do seem more clear even if I find it odd in the first place. Like you said it is unfocused and that disappoints me when this is his own blog.
I'd really like to hear the story of what running a startup is like when your main competitor is Google.
- pm90 7y agoIts seems bad writing. Good writing is quite hard actually, and he may not have even realized that what he wrote is unfocused or may not really convey what he wants to convey. That's the charitable interpretation. The not so charitable interpretation, which to me seems likely, is that he's using this "blog" as part of a campaign to create a new identity for himself, the "almost-billionare startup founder", who has great stories to tell and advice to give so can you please hire him on your company board because he's so well known in the community right? He also seems to suffer from a profound lack of the ability to listen. Literally all the issues seem to be one of him being unable to comprehend reality because he's not listening to the customers,or to the industry trends; he's focused only on creating some mythical product which will be so amazing. Every little success he has buttresses his idea of himself as a visionary, but after that instead of continuing with the good ideas, he goes off on a tangent trying to fulfill this myth.
