So, just creating debate and controversy to promote your business I suspect right? This is just a marketing scheme, I'm guessing most of what you said is bullshit or at least exagerated am I correct?
I have to say this post made me really uninterested in your project and I think most people will feel this way too. I don't think it's the best strategy (I might be wrong though...) to promote a product. I feel your ego is blinding you a bit mate!
I'm not really sure about how to respond to this? Did you have a question or a comment somehow providing further insight into the subject? Or you just out to bash others for writing their opinions ...?
Or maybe you're one of "the other guy's communist friends" who believes in that all business is ethically and morally wrong, and that we should eat only fruit falling from trees, to prevent "additional suffering unto semi-sentient beings" ...?
Humility is overrated mate ... :/
Don't believe me, read some of the other comments here ...
The first paragraph was probably not expressed correctly but is a legit question. The second paragraph is just my opinion which I'm allowed to give as you posted this publicly. Not bashing your opinion, just adding mine
I'm pretty sure you expected some comments like mine...
EDIT: I don't think this post is just an opinion, it's a statement on how cool you, your colleagues and your business are and how not cool non-10x developers are... which is kinda toxic. And I really don't agree with it, that's all.
OK, as to the first paragraph; YES! I wish more people were interested in deep and profound articles, allowing us to market our stuff based upon neutral and factual information. Unfortunately the world has grown so shallow that it's impossible to get attention unless you either stir the pot, or show your boobs. I have no boobs, hence here we are ...
As to the second paragraph? I can't remember it, however I suspect the above probably applies in equal quantities to that too ...
It's working'ish, but it's exhausting, because every opinionated schmuck without wisdom to understand why I write the way I do comes popping out of the woodwork to attack you for "blaspheming towards his 'favourite deity of choice'" ... :/
This ranges from Karl Marx in one end to OOP and Entity Framework in the other end - But hey, I'm not complaining, I kind of asked for it, right ...? :/
Seems fair and necesary, at least in the begining... don't have experience being a CEO, but have very close contact with many and I know the struggles. Can be worth it in the end though
I missed the communist point, I don't think politics have anything to do here. I don't give a crap what you eat, but if you show us your d*ck we will comment on it...
who believes in that all business is ethically and morally wrong
I do not only think that, I know it is not ethical or moral in most cases, which as you stated in the other response it's probably the only way in the current state of society, but that doesn't mean it's correct. It's a shame but it is how it is
That's a good reason and I can stand by it. But the execution and marketing are quite extreme as we mentioned in other comments, though probably necesary. Not that I agree or support it, but at least I understand the reason behind it now!

Good luck, I hope you find a bit of humility!

Okay, fair enough. I can agree with this. It's a shame... is it working though (asking out of curiosity)?

Thanks for answering sincerely, I apreciate that!
I guess it is exhausting, wouldn't want to be in your place if I'm honest.
It's hard work, but at least it's work, and it provides for the family :)
However, 80+ hours per week, wearing 50+ hats, for 14 months and counting is challenging sometimes ...
I can believe that, at least your family is sorted and well (I hope)! why the hats though?
As the CEO of a startup you have to do everything ranging from running the company, hiring people, tutoring, coding and washing the toilet mate ... :/

Edited - I've exclusively built my company upon "serving the underserved" (Open Source) - I beg to differ ... ;)
Lol, of course we do! We meet every 2 hours without exception xD you can join if you want
Hahahaha :D
Now I feel sorry that I edited my original comment :D
Yaiks, my answer makes no sense now!
It can be our secret ;)
A secret club ... :D
shh, they will know it exists, remember the first rule of the club! xD
Hahaha, WHAT club ...? :D
I don't know you! Who are you?
That's a good reason and I can stand by it. But the execution and marketing are quite extreme as we mentioned in other comments, though probably necesary. Not that I agree or support it, but at least I understand the reason behind it now!
<3
Did you have anything to contribute with? Maybe an article, or a question? Maybe some enlightening comment at the very least ...?
Every single thing I wrote about was verified by other people commenting. Besides from that, we've got nothing to talk about ...
