Arc is one of the most thoughtfully built products of the last decade, and @joshm 's team is world-class. I love using Dia and have nothing but praise for them. That said: Atlassian paying $610M—all cash—for a pre-revenue, early-stage company? It's really hard to understand deal dynamics from the outside, but for me, this feels like the most official bubble event so far</a>
