  • I’m undefined? 😟

    Otherwise known as managing success. Once you have a successful cash flow you need to diversify it and build your business to have multiple cash flows.

    Semantics I guess. Di-worse-ification isn’t always the answer. They had a large product lineup, which was probably more expensive for them than it needed to be. They went under because they failed to fortify their balance sheet… rates went up and their debt crushed them.

    Capitalism works fine just turning a profit while plenty of companies die chasing growth. It’s just part of it.





  • I joined reddit in 2007 but I’d been surfing it for a year or so already. Early reddit was amazing. There were no subreddits yet, which was fine, there weren’t that many users. The concept of subreddits was innovative when they introduced them, but once you could create your own it was pretty mind blowing.

    I always felt like reddit was “hiding” from the common folk. It had a plain white background with default blue & purple links and it looked like someone’s personal project. Digg had lots of gradients and borders and glitz but reddit had a real “function over form” quality that really appealed to me as an engineer.

    It makes me sad to think about how many terrible things it’s been put through by its dumb ding dong owners over the years.
