It's only natural. When a company is small and just starting out we're forgiving of mistakes. Once you start getting more established you really should have better practices in place.
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoAlso when a company is small it's hard for them to make big mistakes because smallness precludes. Also, it's easy to give away awesome stuff to almost-nobody. And, I think it goes deeper than that and reaches in to social signalling and self-identification. We like to be in on the new thing before everyone knows about it. Once that thing is big, and everyone is using it, and especially if it makes a mistake, then we lay on the criticism and distance ourselves from it. I know I'm guilty of that. I wonder if this is an intrinsic part of being human or a learned behaviour. I'm leaning toward it being, as you say, only natural.
