I don't think I'm allowed go go into details based on a contract that I signed, so I will just say "we should have got off it earlier".

- lacker 11y agoHey I'm not sure what contract you're referring to, but from a Parse point of view I think you should feel free to go into details about what didn't scale for you about Parse. There is definitely a tradeoff between "ease of use" and "ease of scaling" in many places and using a "backend as a service" won't be the right thing for everyone. I would rather that people be honest and open about what works well and what doesn't.
- jonsterling 11y agoHey there—I've done my best to be as honest and up-front about my experience with Parse. (I apologize if it has seemed overly harsh; but it ate its way into many different parts of my life and really made my year difficult.) But I can't really go into much detail about what we did at our company and why we did it, because when I left, I took a severance on certain terms. And in any case, it's not really appropriate to drudge up old arguments, and I have no interest in making comments that might make it more difficult for the people I worked with to do what they want to do now.
