ClusterHQ is shutting down
How many people were employed at ClusterHQ? Honestly I never even heard of the company but I had heard of some of the open source projects. Maybe I&#x27;m just out of the loop.<p>Also any information as to lessons learned, etc? Basically why it failed? Looking at the marketing material I didn&#x27;t see anything really remarkable about it (nothing that stood out as a &quot;oh this is why I would give them money&quot;) so I&#x27;m curious.<p>&gt; I’ve been part of big successes as well as failures. While the former are more pleasurable, the latter must be relished as a valuable part of life, especially in Silicon Valley.<p>Relished? I never really understood the Silicon Valley &quot;failing is awesome!&quot; mentality. Failure is failure. It&#x27;s not awesome. Why would you relish it? Take the lessoned learned for sure but you likely just lost several people&#x27;s money and you lost your employees their jobs, what is there to take enjoyment from? Seems a little sadistic and a tad lacking in empathy for others involved.<p>But maybe that&#x27;s just me.
