The article is a bit old from 2020, but I like it's brevity. Scott's quote, which is the centerpiece, is golden.

Since the article was written, this quote was proven right once again[1], with the valuations of the high-flying software companies coming down once on the "SaaSpocalypse" came along with the AI revolution.

I thought it's worth pondering on those words, with the new wave of IPOs coming to the market.
