Hey PC,

Pretty cool to see a CEO of a famous company here at HN. Especially a humble one with a learning mindset.

I think back in the day I heard you mention that you are a big history buff. I do have a history question for you.

Do you know of any existing public company who were able to fix their problems at scale that did not have to change their flagship product? It seems like new product line were a forcing function to fix broken things at scale. It's as if those who kept their flagship product who had scalability problems had to either use duct tape fixes or make really painful choices.
