I don’t disagree with the premise, but this would come off less self-serving if the author would provide examples of “calm companies” other than just their own.
It also inspired me to do better and look at my own company and myself as a fellow founder. I agree with almost everything he said and I'd like to see my company as being a "Calm Company" too. It's a great opportunity to measure my ideas against other's.
I wish more entrepreneurs would post like that, even if it's not 100% selfless. I think the trade off of getting more eye balls for sharing his vision is totally fair.
Time and again I keep seeing articles like this in HN and it's the reason I'm so addicted. It's such a good filter on all the chaotic crap it's out there.
