> Hypergrowth is a synonym for unsustainable growth. The headline here is business breaks tech, again.

That just isn't true. Plenty of services do just fine after experiencing hypergrowth, and a few outages are not an example of tech breaking. That's a fairly common occurrence.

I'm not saying companies can't do fine in many respects after experiencing hypergrowth, but like you said, that's after hypergrowth - the hypergrowth isn't sustainable.

And I disagree: outages are a fairly literal example of tech breaking. A few outages aren't catastrophic though, and I agree are fairly common. I know it's cliche, but "move fast and break things" might get growth, but it also gets broken things along the way.

Hypergrowth is growth and churn at the expense of sustainability and stability. It can definitely be fun though!
