- tptacek 14y agoIt isn't. He asked if the guy was OK having his mail published. The guy said yes. Anyone who says Curtis got him fired is saying a lot more about their biases than about anything that happened.
- w1ntermute 14y agoYou're conveniently ignoring the fact that he explicitly called for AA's designers to be fired without understanding how a big company operates: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4996236 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4996236
- tptacek 14y agoI'm ignoring it because it's a stupid point. AA did not fire anyone because Dustin Curtis is an authority on UX. They fired the guy --- stupidly --- for airing dirty laundry on the blog of someone who just wrote a rant about their UX. Only on a nerd message board would this be a point that even bore argument. What, are you scared Dustin Curtis is going to get YOU fired next? OOGA BOOGA.
