Leah is out there creating things, writing code and spending valuable time on new ventures, despite the risk and opportunity cost. I admire her courage and creativity and I can't imagine why you would say something like this.
I'm sure she would have loved to have all of her projects succeed.
Grove.io is a high quality service. We love using it at Leftronic and are very sad to read this news. I wish Leah and her team the best.
- Rayne 14y agoI'm not sure what I said that was so terrible. I think Leah is great and I really hate hear news like this. I also agree that the service was good. My sole point is that companies that use this service also get hurt by this shutdown. When it happens several times as it unfortunately has in her case, you start to worry about new ventures disappearing too. It is in no way a shot at Leah or her work. It's just a recognition of history.
- pbiggar 14y agoYour first sentence was the thing you said that was so terrible.
- jmathai 14y agoBut every sentence afterwards put it in context.
- pbiggar 14y agoI don't agree. You can't start with a statement like that and then backpeddle - your lede has the most impact and is what people remember. He had a chance to edit his post to better reflect his position, but chose not to take it. I wish he had. (And to complete this, lets not forget that Rayne is also a person who just made a mistake. It is the action which is bad, not the person).
- googlengine 14y agoLEI think that wasn't an insult. Ever you knew that person really well or you are are way too serious. Obviously the guy was complaining the trend of herroducts. It Becomes stressful when her works end up in either one direction. If that was the case. I would not trust her work either.
- vitriolix 14y agoHe didn't backpedal, he explained his reasoning for making the first statement. Hard and a bit unvarnished, yes, but understandable.
- heretohelp 14y agoWhat's with the hagiography? Culver made things people came to depend on, then those things disappeared. I don't see how this is any different than picking up women and telling them you think they're serious girlfriend material in a context (business services) where that's the expected standard, then dropping them for the new hot thing. Why is it suddenly acceptable to do this just because they called themselves a startup?
- pbiggar 14y agoYou're making statements which depend on information you don't have. How do you know grove.io was dropped for the new hot thing? Perhaps they weren't making money. Perhaps they were being destroyed by the two larger startups in the space? Why do you assume the worst of this company? The rest of your statements in this thread are really aggressive, and rely on very negative assumptions, which do not seem to have a basis in fact.
- heretohelp 14y ago>How do you know grove.io was dropped for the new hot thing? Because that's what happened to her last six projects? Are you completely incapable of inductive reasoning or are you being obtuse so that you can make the total unaccountability of SV founders a moral crusade?
- pbiggar 14y agoWow, that escalated quickly. Try to remember that you're talking to and about other people. Jumping to the worst possible assumption about other people is not a kind thing to do, but it's all I've seen you do in this thread. As a result, I'm out.
- northband 14y agoI agree. Best of luck and keep coding!
