- hueving 12y agoThat's the Joyent side explaining that they would have fired him over it. Here is a news outlet report of it saying that it was mainly a language barrier issue. https://gigaom.com/2013/12/02/slap-fight-in-node-js-land/ https://gigaom.com/2013/12/02/slap-fight-in-node-js-land/ Either way, it was just shocking to see how quickly they were willing to throw a contributor under the bus who put more than all of Joyent combined into libuv without even trying to understand the his reasoning.
