She didn't make a mistake, she made a calculated play -- she fancied herself a hero and victim at the same time, the level of self-aggrandizement on display was dizzying, she did it in public to make the mob lash out.
SendGrid is in an ugly place, probably losing customers by the minute. If I was currently a SendGrid customer, I would be taking my business elsewhere... for a variety of reasons.
- rmrfrmrf 14y agoSendGrid would have come out stronger from weathering the storm as a defender and promoter of women in tech. Instead, they're giving in to terrorism. Anyone feeling a sense of relief out of this situation is out of their mind.
- LockeWatts 14y agoDDoS = terrorism? What?
- MetaCosm 14y agoI am not sure I agree. I don't think that their customers want to be dragged into any of this, they just want working mail... and will be unforgiving when the service is down. As for being a "defender and promoter of women in tech" -- I guess it really depends on if you see her as the victim or the bully in the situation. Being a defender and promoter of bullies in tech is a far less noble badge to wear.
- Nursie 14y ago"SendGrid would have come out stronger from weathering the storm as a defender and promoter of women in tech." Is that what they would have been though? People are drawing attention to a load of things she's said on twitter and elsewhere that are more than a bit dodgy. A picture begins to form of someone on a mission which may not really be aligned with Sendgrid's requirements for an evangelist.
- andrewdupont 14y agoAre you inside her brain right now? Or are you just arrogant enough to imagine you know her motives?
- jbackus 14y agoWhy would you take your business elsewhere and take on an inconvenience to your company for something unrelated to how your product operates?
- MetaCosm 14y agoThe product went down entirely for hours as a result of prior poor hiring decisions and terrible early handling of the situation. Sendgrid is in a crowded space... easy enough to switch.
