Thank you so much for reading! We deeply appreciate your time and curiosity. Hatching Growth exists because of readers like you who care about meaningful, long-term creation — not just growth for growth’s sake. If this resonated, we’d love to hear your thoughts or reflections in the comments 💛
This essay beautifully reframes what it means to “build” in tech — shifting the focus from disruption and speed to preservation and stewardship. The idea of legacical thinking feels both humbling and inspiring: it asks founders to design products as if they’ll outlive them, honoring the trust users place in their creations. In an age obsessed with short-term growth, Glasp’s commitment to continuity — to being a vessel for human thought across generations — stands out as a quiet, meaningful rebellion. It’s a reminder that some of the most important innovations aren’t about acceleration, but endurance.
Didn't expect this take on startup goals, really. Your 'building for centuries' idea is super insightful. It makes so much sense for preserving knowledge, especialy with AI evolving so fast.
Thank you so much, Rainbow. Yeah, we understand that it takes a long time and it's a counter-trend in the AI era. But we'll do our best to pursue and realize what we believe.
Legacical Thinking - I've been searching for a term to describe this for awhile. Not sure this totally hits the mark for me, but I'll give it an A for effort. Maybe it just needs time to get into daily use. - Anything is better than 6-7

That's a long-term mindset for sure, guys!
