In an alternative universe, Colin joined Dropbox and their UI would have been much more hardcore with better the whole product having better support for other OSes than just Windows and macOS!
Came here to post that one as my all time favorite. Since you posted that one, I’ll give another classic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 (“I have qualms with Dropbox because Linux users could just X and Y and Z…”)
That's his brother. The poster's name is Sanjay Vakil. I think he's saying - look at my brother. He is so successful and intelligent. Unless you have won the putnam (his bro was a 4 time putnam fellow), you have no right to be bolder than him.
As an aside, I think Sanjay has an inferiority complex or can't see outside of his immediate circle who knows his brother.
