Nothing about the successors. Something like "I've tried to do good work here, and particularly with features A, B, and C. <This organization> does important work, and I'm proud to have been a part of it. (If needed) Sadly, we had crucial disagreements on the handling of the data, and I needed to move on. I wish my successors the best, and stand ready to assist in any way that I can."
If there's something truly horrible going on, go find the best reporter you can and tell them your tale. If you want to make a difference, forsake fame, forsake glory, forsake vengeance, forsake righteousness. Become quiet death to the evil worth fighting.
- whatshisface 6y ago>forsake righteousness I think you might have gotten a little carried away with your rhetoric there, that would mean keeping your job. ;) But this serves an important point, which is that vitriolic rhetoric can creep in even when the writer is a Hackernews commenter steeped in a culture of dry language and with no strong emotions or anything at stake. Filtering out information that comes along with vitriol is like filtering out any paragraph that uses the word "and" an even number of times.
- downerending 6y agoBah, I meant self-righteousness. Always get those confused. :-P
