A fun thing in that broader thread is that cperciva is actually interacting with a Dropbox founder and both pulled of their vision via wildly different trajectories. Having a vision and sticking to it long term. ‘07 was a good time to be wrong on this forum.
Almost everyone in that thread is either a founder or an early employee of some well known unicorns! I wish I was around here (and not a 9 year old) back in 2007 :).
