I'm on the verge of turning 30, so I'm not too old to remember being a teen, but I can also sense a mild but tangible generational gap between me and the teenagers of today. So while a 1 billion offer for a chat app seems outrageous to me now, I know that Teen-Me would be all over something like snapchat.
I don't know what that says about what kind of software I should be building, if it says anything at all.
