How did he take liberties with the headline? "This Startup Could Literally Change The Way The Entire App Industry Works" is the actual headline from Business Insider.

The Business Insider can be a bit on the sensationalist side. I don't want to say tabloid but they're around TechCrunch levels of overexaggeration.

The link sent me to Yahoo Finance which had a headline that didn't include about 99% of the words in the headline here. Oh well, my mistake.
1. The founder of Parse is a total egomaniac.
2. The founder of Parse is really proud of his company and has a great sense of humor.
Parse is awesome though. I signed up back when you guys were first opening it up to people and I remember you sent out a lot of emails to get people to come back and keep using it and you have great documentation and tutorials. I see it "changing the way the app industry works" in the same way AWS, Heroku, and others changed how people thought about web app deployment. The big deal is in giving more people access to the tools they need to run a mobile app that they either couldn't build or afford before. That's awesome because lots of people will build some cool things with Parse... And amateurs like me will be able to churn out crap much quicker and cheaper. Awesome!
