I appreciate you saying that. I have a modus operandi with posts like this when I'm really trying to get something across and persuade, where I'll saturate it with technical details, and here I'm literally handwaving, which makes me uncomfortable (on Hacker News, I mean --- I'm comfortable with it everywhere else).

And then of course it's super self-indulgent of me just to write navel-gazing stuff like this. But I'm an HN person first and an entrepreneur second, so here we are.

I am thankful people are being so nice about it though!
