Is this an indirect reference to Brendan Eich's sacking or is it even worse?
- codezero 8y agoEven worse. I think the Brendan Eich sacking falls more in line with the management being incompetent.
- thanatropism 8y agoI thought Brendan Eich /was/ management at the time of his defenestration.
- codezero 8y agoYeah, what I mean by this is that after his exit, management hasn't done much to help Mozilla, not that the act of his exit was a result of incompetent management.
- nicoburns 8y agoNot the OP, but I don't have a problem with the Brendan Eich incident (if a CEO doesn't have the confidence of their employees, then they shouldn't be CEO), but I still have a bad impression of Mozilla culture. To me the clearest sign is their product decisions. They just haven't made a lot of sense recently.
- codezero 8y agoI agree with you. I assume you are being downvoted because there is a lot of polarity around the Eich exit at Mozilla from ... both sides ... here on HN :) I find it quite disappointing that drive-by downvotes are what happen, rather than more discussion, but that's life I guess.
- jcranmer 8y agoBrendan Eich was never sacked by Mozilla (the company or the foundation). That said, it was the strong backlash from the community that impelled him to quit.
