@dansup What you've built is incredible - but I think it's reflective of how commercialised our view has become of what software engineering and innovation looks like.

Instagram only had 13 employees when they sold out to Facebook for $1 billion. These bloated companies keep adding features that no-one asks for, integrate advertising that no-one wants, and business tools that nobody needs if all you want to do is share your stuff and have fun.

Keep doing what you do - the Internet needs it.
