Being a founder of the company – especially the CEO – warrants a special ability to see the entire picture. This applies not just to having the foresight to see where the market is heading and gear the entire company towards that, but also the responsibility to look back and put past actions into perspective.
With that in mind, I wrote this article for my employees, investors, and most importantly, our users. People saw technical debt and they thought “poor product” – so it was my duty to paint a complete picture.
Onward and upward.
