I was just thinking to myself, this looks like when Quora backed the wrong conceptual horse and Cheever got eased out by Adam D'Angelo, and then I realize D'Angelo is involved here too. I'm calling it. This is a pattern. Exceptionally technically talented people mount coups with a particular signature.

~2012-13 or so, I was active on Quora and left because it went down a weird bad design path that was driven by D'Angelo, who eased out the other co-founder, Charlie Cheever, who I think had much better product instincts, though D'Angelo was the hacker genius type building it. This feels similar.
