> Are you justifying this completely poisonous and destructive behavior on the basis that you found his Twitter feed too arrogant for your liking and that he got more attention than you would have? I don't expect to get that kind of attention for something on that level. Nothing I've done certainly would warrant the kind of attention Dustin is getting for this concept. We're not talking about a lot of work, let's remember. The whole "but his years of experience to get to this design!" garbage talking point is most ignorant. Sometimes people post stuff on HN and it's so simple but brilliant that my jaw drops in awe. Building over top of Tumbler, Posterous, etc, philosophy and taking it 1 step further (not to mention: exclusivity, arrogance, nepotism, prop theatre) is not inciting that emotion. Sorry. If I had been responsible for, say, Ruby on Rails, I'd expect the kind of clamour that Dustin is getting for a weekend project – of which, many are posted to HN as "Show HN: My weekend project X". All of which are reviewed, criticized and praised for what they are. Not one of these humble moonlighters go off to Twitter and claim X community is dead, or that everyone sucks if they don't agree. Most of the time, they take the criticism and learn from it. Dustin cried in the corner and acted like a spoiled brat. The tweets just solidify that. > I'm confused, are you accusing me of submitting my own work for a spotlight? Or Dustin? I've certainly done it for my own work in the past, as many other members of this community, but it wasn't Dustin who submitted Svbtle. No.
