I love this article. It begins setting the scene with Uber's grand expectations for the chinese market and then shows just a small piece of the work Uber spent on Uber China. Meanwhile Uber China itself failed spectacularly, with factories of phones claiming the free rides money.[0] I don't think I've ever experienced dramatic irony in a blog before, certainly not a technical blog. The post itself is a masterpiece.
