Businesses fail all the time. Very often because the founders are inexperienced and underestimate just how much knowledge and skill it takes to run something seemingly simple. This is not unusual, it should not “physically hurt” to read. There but for the grace of god etc.

The hyperbole and disdain is unappealing.

"Move fast, break things" works fine with webshit.

It doesn't work when you are building houses for people to live in, where mistakes (say, electrical, structural, or plumbing wise) can lead to fatal incidents.

This lot were the absolute definition of fucking cowboys.
