I can certainly understand that when you're excited about rolling out a new feature and you encounter some pushback your gut reaction might be to "sell" people on it or try to explain it better rather than listen. The important thing is that he did eventually listen.
I think it's also important to distinguish the idea from the execution. A LinkedIn alternative for developers is a great idea. The problem was the incredibly short opt-out (instead of opt-in) with notice given to users on Friday afternoon of a long holiday weekend.
- GordonS 6y agoI totally understand being excited about a new feature, but I don't understand the lax attitude towards privacy, especially not nowadays. I somewhat agree, in that the important thing for now is that he did eventually relent. But I'm not convinced he actually listened, so much as relented under pressure. I don't think those values bode well for the company going forward. I certainly hope I'm proved wrong on that.
