Agreed. I could imagine how many of the most active users of their platform would be excited for any feature that improved their prospect of landing a job. Combined with the team's excitement for taking on LinkedIn and expanding their company, I could see how they'd fall into this tunnel vision. Initially I was quite unhappy with how their CEO blindly defended the decision on the earlier HN thread, but I gotta give him credit for changing his mind and drafting this earnest apology. Everyone is human and its easy to get caught up in your own bubble, especially when you've been excitedly executing on a vision with a team that also lives in that bubble. Still don't think I'll ever use their platform as either a member of a hiring team or as a job seeker. But at least this followup lessens my negative connotation for Triplebyte that developed over the previous few days.
