I have to be honest, I do feel for anybody losing their job, but it makes me happy to see makerbot doing poorly.<p>These guys really did a mean thing to the maker community.  Not only did they betray the trust of everybody that helped on that project, but it seemed like they wanted to take credit for 3D printing, as if capital M makerbot was THE THING that had suddenly made 3D printing explode.<p>No.  It was the efforts of thousands of hackers all over the world collaborating that made 3D printing explode, and it wasn&#x27;t fair to those people to see Bre&#x27;s face all over the news, as if he had personally designed and built all of this stuff.<p>Time heals all wounds, obviously, and I hope there are good things for everybody involved with (or previously involved with) makerbot.  But I hope that this is a lesson: being mean to people isn&#x27;t cool, and they will turn on you and market against you when you do.
