Wall Street is where tech companies go to die. They make something good, go public, investors demand to make ALL the money on Earth instead of a modest profit for providing a good service, then the service goes to shit because developers have to sacrifice what makes it good to make it more profitable, users leave, service dies.
I'm perfectly happy to make my living in a small company that does good work. I'll never be a billionaire and that's fine with me.
This is the problem with every company that goes to Wall Street. The QER killed any hopes of companies being able to just try things. Instead, the only thing they can do is look to beat this quarter in the next. That is it.
