Haters (2020)
The context for how this has gotten back on the radar:<p>Today, Suhail Doshi, founder&#x2F;CEO of Mighty (and previously the founder&#x2F;CEO of Mixpanel), tweeted [1]:<p><i>This week I&#x27;ve witnessed some of the most rude, mean spirited, dismissive people. I suspect IRL they&#x27;re much different.<p>Meanwhile, there&#x27;s been an outpouring of support, encouragement, and optimism to counter-act it all.<p>My team &amp; family appreciate it. All fuel for fire.</i><p>I gather much of this happened in the HN thread [2], which included this gem [3]:<p><i>This is like a parody of the current state of affairs in modern web development. Except it&#x27;s actually serious.<p>Sigh. I am so disappointed in our industry that tools like this even need to exist. It really makes me want to quit programming entirely</i><p>I guess it&#x27;s up to all of us to reflect on our reactions to new products&#x2F;concepts, and consider what it says about our own place in the world, and exactly what kind of &quot;help&quot; we want to offer to those who are expending effort to try and make something better.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Suhail&#x2F;status&#x2F;1388377957895315458" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Suhail&#x2F;status&#x2F;1388377957895315458</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26957215" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26957215</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26960946" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26960946</a>
