And if it's excessive, you're likely to get called out on it.
Look, I have no agenda here. I got up this morning and started reading HN, like I do every other day. I got to this article, read it, and thought, "My god, this guy is full of himself." So I came to discuss my opinion on the article, which is precisely what this forum is for. He didn't answer the question that was asked of him. He talked about wanting to give us specifics and details, and didn't give any. Glossed right over anything pertaining to the business. Then submitted the article himself. So it's not like someone stumbled on it and thought, "Great stuff!"
As far as putting CEO in quotes, that's a bit of a joke. I'm aware he's the CEO; it's there on that page about 5 times. In fact, he refers to himself as CEO more times in that article than I've heard my CEO refer to his title....ever. Again, a little obnoxious.
I admit, I don't know the guy from a hole in the ground. All I can do is judge him on how and what he writes. That's what I'm doing, and what others are doing to me. I'm glad you found the article insightful. I found it to be crap. And I think that the story he's selling is unsustainable. Time will tell. But I can assure you I'll be following this company closely from now on.
Anyway, I've stirred it up a bit more than I intended, so I'm going slink into the shadows...
