What a strange bit of information to make public. Blogging is a good way to blow off steam, but I don't see how this could turn out to be positive for the OP. It could make it worse by publicly admitting that he went against company policies. If the company decides to pursue legal action (for whatever reason) this blog post provides them with ammunition. I'd remove it from the blog and take a couple of days to learn about the situation.

- paublyrne 11y agoI like his honesty. He is only 20. It wouldn't put me off hiring him, if I were in a position to do so. It's a pretty measured post too, and he's not blaming anyone, so I wouldn't think it would be something he'll regret. Hopefully not.
- bliti 11y agoYou make a good point. Being honest about mistakes made is very important. Not only to the world, but to yourself. It shows that the person recognizes the actions that led to this result. Yet, the internet never forgets. It might be ten years from now when this works against him. There are multiple reasons anyone could use this against the OP. Violating contract, going against what was agreed upon with his mentor, creating competing products, etc. I'm not holding this against the OP. Its great that he realized the mistakes. What I'm doing is warning him that this might turn out to be another mistake in the making. Lord knows the internet never forgets.
