I've noticed that the less money a startup makes, the more aggressively its founder describes the company.
$0 revenue: "We're fundamentally reshaping human civilization."
$10K MRR: "We're building the operating system for an entirely new economy."
$2M ARR: "We sell accounting software."
Success really takes the poetry out of entrepreneurship.
I used to think most fights were a wording problem.
Find the right sentence, ship it, done.
Turns out the perfect message still fails if the other person is too hurt to receive it.
Better wording can't fix that. Sometimes both people need to vent separately first
