On: Goodbye, Twilio

Why can’t a company just be happy making several billion dollars a year in profits? Always about growth, growth, growth!

Twilio doesn't make billions in profits. Twilio has been losing money for years. I'm not sure if Twilio was ever profitable?

You could ask the same of yourself, presumably you have a retirement account invested in things that grow…

A retirement account is based on the premise that its owner is going to stop working and adding money to it so they can draw money out of it for the rest of their life.

Companies don't generally have the same long term goal to stop earning revenue and ride out their savings until they die.
