I’m sorry but was this comment satire? It certainly reads like it and I’m trying to decide if I should laugh with it or criticize the tone deaf response.

“Our core premise was that being able to use math on spreadsheets is powerful”

“Likewise, we think plugging numbers into an analytics platform that PMs can query might improve product”

I’m getting some real McKinsey vibes here

I had to read it a few times too, I'm still not entirely convinced that "being able to reason mathematically about independent distributed systems was a unique application of a ledger" actually parses into anything.

Is 'being able to reason' an 'application of a' ?

It looks... off
