Big Tech's Ugly Duckling: An Engineer's Bet on Snapchat

Unsure on whether engineering-focused investment style posts are allowed on HN.

Thought I’d give it a go and try writing something different. Let me know what you think.

Just one note, a very small disclosure that this is not financial advice.

Otherwise, this is a great article. Snap's price is very low enough for anyone to buy and just forget it. (Not financial advice)

AR/XR is Snap's very last chance (Unless they have something else very secret) to turn around the company and they have lots of time to plan for when AR/XR glasses gets a killer app.

They cannot afford to miscalculate this one otherwise it is all over for Snap.

ossa-ma•10h ago
Just added. You saved me from a lot of potential legal trouble!

I completely agree, they've invested so much in AR/XR that if this doesn't work, there is zero hope for exponential growth.
