"name and shame" without giving the other side a chance to respond seems a little unfair, and from the tone of the article, one has to wonder if this is the model for how the site will work. I don't know that something like this will be very useful or productive. This experience is called out on their homepage, tagging the Artem as "Deceitful". If it ever takes off, I predict a lot of messy private disputes ending up out in public and not really to anyone's benefit.
Also, I think they fell into a trap that a lot of startups fall into (and some pre-startup ideas I've had have certainly fallen into this trap) - overthinking technology choices. I think choosing Go and Cassandra was a mistake - not because there is anything wrong with those technologies, but because there are so many other choices that would have been easier to hire for (their post mentions how hard it was to find someone).
If you are a founder that is going to be writing code and actually building the software that runs your business, I could see making somewhat uncommon technology decisions, but it seems unnecessary for non-technical founders to paint themselves into a corner by choosing technologies that are hard to hire for.
