    From an article on a database company…

    > Most public software companies can’t even crack 40%

    Not speaking about the growth rate of the company mentioned, but about the "not even 40%"

    How can such a rate be sustainable?! I don't understand these things any more.

              @rotnroll666 @rjayasinghe to be fair, i think this is unironically the model. The goal is to grow so quickly that you either absorb or destroy all competition along the way. if you're successful, you've gained a monopoly and can grow further by draining your customers because they don't have any alternative anymore.

                  @rotnroll666 There is a German software company that decided they needed such growth numbers, attracted VC, destroyed its culture and lost their customers goodwill. Will never understand it, they made good money, founders lived comfortably.

                  Maybe your environment shapes you, if you hang out with startup clowns for too long, this line of thinking infects your brain?
