If you're just randomly drone on for pages about how overrated 37signals is, first of all, spell it right.
More importantly, I don't quite understand what it is about 37signals that inspires such hate. It seems like the same kind of hate Marco Arment gets. Something about opinionated and outspoken bootstrappers who find success by doing things the way they want to do them instead of chasing the usual growth-above-all-else startup mentality seems to really get under people's skin.
Finally, what is this fawning all over Buffer all about? The whole article feels a bit incongruous. Comparing Buffer's future to the impact that 37s has had over the last 15 years is a bold and perilous prediction. They could do great things and still fall short of being held to such a standard. Is Buffer doing good stuff? I don't really know because I haven't been paying attention, but this article does not make me want to find out more, it just leaves me confused.
