To be clear, we gave a ton of feedback and direction before the demo. All of that was completely ignored. If it was a problem of just tweaking things or making changes then I would have done that, but the fact is that they completely ignored all of the input we had already given. I'm curious why you're so intense about this- do you have some sort of stake in karet?

They worked for Karat, according to their comment history. So yes.

  I'm seeing now that I should have disclosed this again at the beginning of this thread with my first reply, because now it's coming across as a deception, which was truly not the intent as shown my by earlier comments. Apologies folks

  Can you delete this? I don't want a conversation that I'm having to lead to someone being harassed.

    It's okay, I'm not anonymous. Thank you for looking out though. I appreciate you and apologize for coming across as adversarial, the company has a special place in my heart and I'm obviously very biased. What you experienced sounds like it was pretty bad, and I hope that they have grown from it

  Can we not doxx someone over a benign comment thread on HN?

    Not the GP but it's not "doxxing" to point out someone has a conflict of interest, and it's important that we all be open about our potential biases when discussing topics like this. And perhaps even more important is that hiding these potential biases get called out to disincentivize bad actors.

      It's possible to say "this person works at this company" without sharing their entire work history and other info. Several people did this.

    It’s not really doxxing someone when they freely put their name out there, in many places, including in content they themselves have posted to Hacker News. That said, parent probably didn’t need to post a linked in profile either heh.

I contracted with Karat previously, but don't have any present relationship with them or their executives. Communication is hard, and not everyone has time or energy to bridge the gap, which is fair! It's just a bummer to hear that this has somehow lead to words like "awful", "real negative impact", "useless". That feels very intense to me, and I have probably responded in an intense way as well. There was no harm intended
