Did anyone really believe that a bunch of guys were going to write a secure privacy-based facebook-killer application in three or four months? That's a challenging proposition even for experienced teams. Though we all know that they warned us that the software was still full of bugs and treated as experimental. Patrick says that doesn't matter, that they haven't got the foundation right and anything built on top of it will likely fall. Maybe they can still iterate and fix those things. Maybe they will scrap large sections of the code and re-write it properly. I suggest they keep trying and learn something from all of this. Us older geeks can be pretty harsh sometimes. We often expect new-comers to not make the same mistakes we did once. That's how we learn though, so don't take it the wrong way. Next time just don't promise more than you can deliver.
