From the start I was unconfortable with the idea of firing or demoting someone who had worked 15+ years in an organization without any related issues raised before.
And now I'm appalled by all these justifications while nobody seems to really discuss the huge technical loss. Maybe it's my engineering side speaking but I'm outraged to see such a great engineer forced to leave by people who in the end for the most part don't really care about Mozilla and will soon go to the next cause to defend. Meanwhile Mozilla has lost a bit of its soul and a part of its mind. The outcome is just sad.
- stcredzero 13y agowill soon go to the next cause to defend Just who is being "defended" here? No free society should take offense to a nonviolent political stand, even unpopular ones. Going after someone like this is not defense. It's attack.
- devindotcom 13y agoWait, why is it defense for him to speak in favor, and attack for others to speak against? Don't mass speech and boycotts constitute a "nonviolent political stand"?
- mkr-hn 13y agoI think a lot of people got their first taste of politics through cable news and never learned the older, more useful vocabulary with words like "disagree" and "challenge."
- stcredzero 13y agowhy is it defense for him to speak in favor Wow. Reading comprehension, please.
- dllthomas 13y agoDoesn't placing "such a great engineer" in a CEO role already mean he's not being applied to engineering tasks?
- stcredzero 13y agoManaging engineers with a good understanding of what they do is a very valuable skill.
- dllthomas 13y agoWhich he was already doing, as CTO.
