As this announcement stands, I ... won't be using what they build.
Considering you literally haven’t been told — let alone allowed to use — what they’ve built, that sounds like a reasonable prior.
- malvosenior 7y agoWhen I use products for business I expect some level of professionalism. It's way too easy to get hung out to dry with a critical piece of infrastructure and a dead company behind it. What they've done here with the vaporware and vanity posts is a classic misstep. It's not product or customer centered, the two things you absolutely must be to succeed in the enterprise world.
- jiofih 7y agoYou can’t be serious. Their announcing their new venture in their personal blogs, not giving you a sales pitch. Try to be less self-centered?
- malvosenior 7y agoThis is literally the company blog that we're commenting on, not their personal blog. There's also 3 posts on the HN front page about this same topic and not one of them has any substance. So yes, I'm going to stick with my decades of experience and say they're producing red flags far faster than they're producing product.
- jiofih 7y agoI’m sure your indignation can be better used somewhere else, other than commenting at length on something you’re not interested at all.
- malvosenior 7y agoI'm very interested in how our industry operates, how purchasing decisions are made and how investors vet opportunities. This intersects all of those areas, I think it's probably worth listening to what people are complaining about instead of just lashing out at them. This isn't just me complaining for no reason, there's a lot wrong with this announcement and it doesn't lead to a healthy industry.
