Wow, I just watched the ColdFusion video on We this morning. It's interesting watching this huge disaster in real time, instead of years later.

The blame seems to be on Masayoshi Son, of Softbank, for anointing their founder Adam Neumann. He sounds like a character from the tv show Silicon Valley.

At this point I'd rather take money from Russ Hanneman, at least his character and motivations are well known and unlikely to change.

Evaporates? It wasn't there in the first place.

The value was only there on Masayoshi Son's fevered brow, has subsequently evaporated.

How can I comment if I can't read the article ? Is this link a promo for WSJ subscription?

Both outline.com and archive.is can’t bypass paywall. I don’t read wsj often: is there still a valid workaround?

Yes: Your local library might have article content available online.

I just settle for ignoring WSJ on general principal.

This would be an interesting premise for an article from any reputable outlet, but the WSJ's combination of two paragraph paywall and the Murdoch's constant editorial axe to grind against big tech, (I assume they are still fuming because they ate shit on Myspace), has turned this "paper of note" into an irrelevance.

Similar to Myspace, and Fox News for that matter, a fish rots from the head.
