I know, right? I met him a few times back in the 2000s and didn't see why he got so much attention back then. I think he is regurgitating some of the common talking points amongst the valley anarchists about how we live in a bubble. I

To be sure though; It is still quite a superfluous software product that is a more complex version of Google forms. The key is to be able to sell to enterprises with a shiny veneer. EDIT: And that SAP is not buying the software per se. They
