On the topic of arrogance, I wasn't in that meeting referenced, but having worked with most people there who could have been, and being a Brit who's worked for west coast startups like that for nearly 10 years, it's that American confidence, outlook and drive (along with Sand Hill road) that contributes to so much success out there. I'm a fan, but have to check myself every time i use 'super' as an adjective.
Tech vs Product is a good comparison to make. I banged my head many times on DC/OS (the commercial version of Mesos) and underlying Mesos itself. Solid tech, but I'd have liked to have seen the product develop faster, to realise its potential in the enterprise market, which was huge.
