You won't know about their ego or professionalism until you work with them. Posting on a mailing list and making a blog post about it is not proof of either of these, it's brand marketing. They're trumpeting their engineering talent to build good will/nerd rep so people will love their company, spend money there, and apply for jobs. (But what it does show is that they're good at marketing, because it's working)
- brnt 7y agoSounds like they're also pretty good at making disk encryption faster.
- darkwater 7y agoIt is also marketing for sure, but it is well done marketing. It's like having a high PageRank in Google because you actually write meaningful, useful, well-written blog posts which Google happens (happened) to value vs link factory blog posts.
