It reads to me like he is defending his team. I would bet that the people behind the scenes are feeling pretty down and for the most part unfairly: there was so much hype built up about this company, if they didn't completely nail it the first time they were doomed to fail in the eyes of the community.

I agree with the others here that he would get more sympathy if he was less snarky, but I imagine he's dealing with a lot of emotion from his team. I couldn't imagine trying to build a company with so much pressure, such an intelligent group of people and all of the negative press at the same time; what a nightmare.
