Wait, why are we attacking flat buttons, rounded borders, and non-gradient backgrounds when it's the incestuous nature of ideas in the Valley that's really the problem. I mean, in the article, the guy spends time at the beginning puking flat-rainbows, then goes on (much later) to say the real problem is that we're not being humanitarian or actually useful enough. While I agree the next best share-your-photo-and-or-chat app is all another sack of shit and you're a shill if you or your company is working on such an app, I don't see why or how it make sense to attack san-serif fonts, plain backgrounds, or flat buttons. Compared to the real concern that the stuff we build doesn't help our users make more money, find meaning, discover long term happiness, or really do anything other than get them addicted to wasting their time, the existence and popularity of flat buttons and thumbnail carousels just don't seem like problems at all. Another thing, why this obsession with "saying 'fuck you' to the status quo?" This is 2014 and we're all adults (maybe), why are we still so obsessed with this rhetoric of disruption, competition, and being a general nuisance? What happened to the entrepreneur who says stuff like "Oh hey, it looks like those guys in the trucking industry have a lot down time between jobs, let me build this service to help all the trucking companies find stuff to load everywhere so they make more money." Unless you're either our RoR overlord DHH, or the latest incarnation of Dante from DMC, no one builds a successful company by saying "Fuck you" to everyone.
