First engineering employee comments on Krebs post about implosion of Norse
- revelation 11y agoThis is hilarious, the company and it's technology is now dead, but they still insist it's just the best, believe us!
- jethro_tell 11y agoI'm still reading, but lets remember that the business side and the tech stack are separate entities and skill sets. They might have the best tech and the worst business.
- jbelich 11y agoI'm the author of the post, rebutting the Krebs story... and yes. I'm hella proud of the tech we built.. the business... not so much.
- jethro_tell 11y agoMeh, it happens. Best of luck with whatever is next for you.
- beachstartup 11y agowould you care to share some of the blunders?
- gist 11y agoThe story in question: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/01/sources-security-firm-norse-corp-imploding/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/01/sources-security-firm-no...
- at-fates-hands 11y agoI'm all for letting a company die out, but jesus it looks like there were a ton of shady business dealings, hidden partners, reverse mergers and other sketchy moves. This article should, at the very least, be a warning sign to anybody who thinks about investing with, or going to work for any of the people associated with any of the firms listed in the article.
- vectorEQ 11y agopeople should just let a company die in peace so the people working there who did fine work and not neccesarily were implecated with this can find a job easily after it blows over >.> this kind of shit is tasteless and just burdens people who have nothing to do with it. bunch of 12 year olds point at eachothers fails. when will people learn this is not how you grow. as a person, group, company, country, or whatever kind of group of people. What has been learnt from all these things we didnt know yet? nada.
- ryanlol 11y agoIf you knowingly work for a snake oil vendor that speaks volumes about your ethics.
- dsl 11y agoI don't think anyone in the security industry ever took Norse seriously. They spawned an amazing parody pretty early on: http://threatbutt.com/ http://threatbutt.com/
- rdl 11y agoThey had really solid engineering in areas where they really didn't need as much expertise. It was an amazing collection of FreeBSD talent.
- kjs3 11y agotl;dr: I know lots of stuff you don't and you can't verify. I'm a totally credible witness; all those other people with big fancy titles just like mine are just 'affections', not real employees. Krebs is a poopy-head. This is how you make sure you're going to have to count on your drinking buddies for a job the rest of your career.
- ryanlol 11y agoInterestingly, both norse website and their mailservers are offline.
