A glut of "email is broken" posts just before the YC decision day and just after Paul Graham's "Frighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas" essay smacks of insincerity.
I can imagine email software that does exciting things with JSON data in emails, but I wouldn't alter the underlying protocol.
- fluorid 15y agoGreat post and we found the hidden agenda of this "email is broken" propaganda. It's sad that the VC/startup business heavily relies on hype to drive interest and valuation. Nethertheless, I welcome that seemingly a lot do not blindly follow this BS.
