If you look at it as a group of kids figuring it out as they go, it's an interesting adventure to follow. If you look at it as a group of kids running a business, it's embarrassing.
The fact that they hit so many completely unexpected hurdles really makes it seem like they had no idea what they were getting into. Not a good thing when you're taking people's money up-front.
- nodata 16y agoWhat horrifies me is the complete lack of learning. It's been clear for so long now that they have a communication problem: they say the wrong thing, they don't keep people up-to-date, they change the specs as they go then not/mis-communicate that. And here we are again. And again. And again. Again with this post - they're getting peoples' hopes up. It's astounding.
- rodh257 16y agowhat do you mean? People said they weren't communicating enough, so now they are writing blog posts like this regularly to keep us updated. Nothing wrong with that at all. The only thing to be critical of is they are poor at giving time frames, but it's hard to be critical of that without having experience launching a hardware product.
- nodata 16y agoIn this post they're communicating badly: the heading tells readers that they're almost there, the content of the post is a big disclaimer about why they might not be true.
