Fair enough, and I'll probably regret making that comment sometime in the next year or so.
I probably spend way too much time on HN, random VC Blogs, Medium, and consuming other startup-ey content so it would probably be healthiest to interpret the comment as a reflection of my own skepticism/impending burn-out.
That said, Canny looks pretty cool. Hope it goes well :)
I honestly think if I had read this article 2 years ago, I could have gotten as far as I am now in half the time. That's huge, and I genuinely think these words can help others.
I mentioned Canny at the top of the article because I got feedback that I should in order to show my credibility around talking about the subject.
If it didn't somehow benefit Canny, it wouldn't make sense to spend the time writing it. It definitely wasn't my only motivation though.
