I've heard about this rewrite multiple times now from different perspectives, both public and private. It's interesting how much the narrative changes based on the context of how it's being told. This author seems genuine and honest, but it's also clear that the story is being spun in the most positive way possible.
The previous thread here has a different perspective on the situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25373462 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25373462
- jonas21 5y agoIf you read to the bottom of the Twitter thread, it's pretty consistent with what we're hearing here. It sounds like they're both saying there were lots of near-disasters, but these were overcome, and the app successfully shipped - however at the cost of burnout in the team. I wouldn't say either is putting a more positive or negative spin on it than the other.
- plorkyeran 5y agoIs it really a different perspective? This author is trying to do their best to give it a positive spin but the article is still a description of an unforced disaster that miraculously worked out for Uber.
