In May 2021 Paul Graham wrote Crazy New Ideas [1], in which he explained that envy is the only reason people criticize ideas by "reasonable domain experts". This was widely understood at the time to refer to critics of Mighty[2][3].

Everyone is pivoting to AI creative tools recently.

So much interest and explosion.

Would be great if PG got more humble as a result, but something tells me that's never gonna happen.

Humility and rich men with twitter accounts shall never mix

Can someone explain what Mighty is? There's no context either here or in the linked Twitter thread. After significant searching, I found it: https://www.mightyapp.com Basically Stadia for webpages.

I'm still stumped. It seems like a cloud-based browser?

Yeah, it looks like it streams the rendered pages as video from a server?

I don’t think Mighty was unreasonable, just tackled from the wrong end. Netlify and Vercel did it from the other end and look where they are right now.

Instead of a faster browser they did super easy edge deployments of your JS apps which has a similar end result for users but also solves a giant headache for businesses which is where the money is.
