(I haven't read any of these peices, to be honest. There's so much else that's crazy and only so many hours in the day)
First half is straight forward dick measurement contest. Let me paraphrase: "My companies has huuuuge revenue! Why haven't yours? Maybe because you are so toxic? Have you thought about that, man with smaaaall revenue."
Notice how it's all revenue, not profit. I think this mindset gives an insight into why so many tech bros if they stumble onto profit, quickly grows out of profit. Profit isn't the score, revenue is. And it's all about hitting that high score so you can feel like a big man.
