seems like he panicked and made it worse, then rage-quit
- jessermeyer 5y agoRight. Reading the entire conversation shows the parent messaging is FUD.
- boygobbo 5y agoI've just read it myself and was very impressed by Richard Hipp's calm, courteous and honest demeanour. I would recommend this to anyone as a paragon of how to respond to a difficult situation.
- JoeQuery 5y agoIt's been a few years but my one and only interaction with Zed via an email exchange showed me he was quite unstable and prone to outbursts. Never meet your heroes, they say.
- scruple 5y agoI had exactly one interaction with him, too, whereby he shared with me a very long list of companies that he knew of which were hiring at the time, this would've been around 2012 or so. I got quite a few interviews as a result, and quite a few offers, FWIW, though I ended up taking a job with a company that wasn't on this list. I understand both that he is and why he is such a polarizing figure. Just wanted to put my positive anecdote on the pile, since they seem to be a less common when he comes up in online comments.
- JoeQuery 5y agoI believe it. Some people exhibit pretty extreme behavior. It sounds like that was extremely nice of him :)
