I think Huffman is falling into a trap that Kanye and Mark Zuckerberg have fallen into: trying to prove he's special.
Kanye rose to fame as a young genius rapper/producer/designer and was acclaimed repeatedly. Zuckerberg rose to fame as a brilliant business twenty-something (according to the world around).
They spent half their life being praised and told they're important, brilliant, special, prescient, etc. So they are confident they can prove it again.
Kanye is doing.... something strange now. Zuckerberg tanked the stock price with VR/Metaverse and then juked it by firing a chunk of the company. They are so confident something intrinsic in them makes their choices special and 'right,' that they can see something no one else can.
Huffman et al. were at the right place and right time with a LAMP(?) stack when Digg imploded. Now he wants to prove that it's not "right place right time" but that he is special.
