I like these posts that attempt to predict the future. It's never easy to do, and obviously you'll get most of the details wrong. But being a founder is basically an exercise in predicting the future. It's predicting that people will like what you're building, abandon their old methods, and adopt your product en masse. So it's good to work out your future-prediction muscles and write stuff like this once in a while, even if you don't publish it and just keep it to yourself.
Whoa ! Never expected @csallen himself to comment on my post. :-)
Thanks for the kind words. I know some of these are pretty contrarian and I don't expect to be right about it all. But that's fine. I am taking a bet on the future anyway as you put so eloquently.
First it was actually a set of product notes to self. But then I felt my biggest weakness as a founder has been to keep things to myself (classic introvert - INTP). So let's go out on a ledge :-)
