I had a similar thought, if not so colourful. Patting themselves on the back for supporting these companies (aside from Twilio) seems short-sighted to me. More gatekeepers, more bloat, more greed. Just what the internet needs. > In retrospect, the early products themselves are barely recognizable today. Rather, passionate, analytical and relentless founders zigged and zagged their way to that elusive “product-market fit” I wonder to what extent the founders' early visions had to be eroded to the lowest common denominator.
