Jesus. Maybe I am old-school, but if you have a disagreement or someone isn't holding themselves to a standard, you don't take it to Twitter to signal to in-crowd.
Yes, even when it's a publicly funded open-source dev-tool.
Just the usual immature behavior of super-genius developers who have no concept of professionalism since any company in the world will write them a yearly check of infinite money.
Out-of-touch, know-it-all.
Edit: I reread this. Adding that no one is perfect, everyone slips up, loses perspective, pouts/whines, etc... We are all human and remember a single angry tweet thread does not define a person. Twitter is toxic signal-fest that brings out the worst in people right or wrong. Cheers!

- nsonha 5y agoGuy is pretty young (created babel in high school I read) so maybe that's part of it. I find that the older I get the more empathy I have.
- WORMS_EAT_WORMS 5y agoWow, that’s amazing. Right on regarding empathy and age/experience. No one is really an awful person. Just petty drama...
- cj 5y agoMismanaging hundreds of thousands of dollars of charitable contributions goes a bit beyond petty drama in my opinion.
- WORMS_EAT_WORMS 5y agoHa, love the 10/10 spin there. - A joint decision was made how to split and pay maintainers. - A disagreement about performance / results has come from that. - Tweeting to rally the homies is immature (and quite embarrassing) way of solving a problem. I am not saying funds could not be reallocated differently. I’m saying the people involved with this are acting unprofessional / like children.
- digitaltrees 5y agoLabeling in mismanagement is just an opinion not an objective fact. There are a lot of ways to interpret these exact facts.

- cuu508 5y ago> Jesus. Maybe I am old-school, but if you have a disagreement or someone isn't holding themselves to a standard, you don't take it to Twitter to signal to in-crowd. Not saying I disagree, but, in your words, what's bad with taking it to Twitter?
- vardaro 5y agoIt doesn't really need to be taken to Twitter. There's almost zero benefit in publicly shaming your colleague like this.
- dqv 5y agoTwitter is also (but isn't the only) tabloid social media. It promotes the sharing of sensational and one-sided content that is scant on details. I know we're supposed to be critical about what we read, but my first instinct was to assume Henry was a bad guy. It would have been better to see this discussion in a forum or mailing list or anywhere that is designed for an actual longform discussion. Even if in public longer more detailed discussions can capture the nuance.
- meowtimemania 5y agoTaking it to Twitter makes the criticizing person look super toxic. I think reputation can be saved by doing this privately
- abxytg 5y agoPersonally, I think Seb burnt his own rep and the rep of Rome tools, and unfortunately it reflects really really poorly on his cofounder as well.
- matwood 5y agoGoing to Twitter is akin to having a disagreement at work, standing up and shouting across the whole office at the person you disagree with. I haven't been in an office in awhile, is that what people do nowadays?
