I think that the author is a bit unfair to himself, in the conclusion. He wrote the following:
>"I think the single largest mistake we made was to not invest more time into OpenCNAM as it was growing. Instead of devoting time to other projects, we should have doubled down and focused on developing the product even more, and made it into the best possible product.
At the time, it seemed like a good idea -- but in retrospect, I believe that if we would have really focused on adding more features to the API service, cleaning up the user dashboard, and fixing some UI elements -- we could have won a lot more potential customers over."
While he acknowledges that this is only apparent in hindsight, he does not seem to give himself credit for diversifying his risk portfolio at the early stage, when success was uncertain. It may be that doubling down earlier would have put the business in a better situation now, but that does not mean the expected outcome of doubling down was better than the expected outcome of maintaining parallel projects.
