Here we go again: Some company (in this case, Bitwarden) "betrayed" its customers by doing what every other firm does. And Hn goes brrr over it. Then another alternative (KeePass) appears on HN's frontpage. It's like companies are right: You can't target the niche market of programmers because their expectations are through the roof.
I wonder, aren't the majority of HNers working at a for-profit company funded by VCs?
The hypocrisy is just intolerable at this point.
- bachmeier 4y agoI usually just ignore comments like this, but I'm honestly curious. What part of my comment are you replying to?
- behnamoh 4y ago> VC + focus on business means the consumer stuff dies or gets neglected to the point that it should die. All resources get moved to the high-growth parts of the business once VC enters a company. At the end of the day, engineers/programmers are the ones who implement these changes. I find it unacceptable that lots of HNers get so high minded about these issues but then go on to contribute to the problem by working at for-profit companies. Nothing wrong with either one, just choose one.
