> How can you call someone a good person

I know the guy.

> if they literally hired then fired people?

If hiring and firing is inherently wrong then I guess all founders are bad?


Good people make mistakes. Maybe the fired employees got really good severance packages? Maybe they were given introductions that led to immediate employment offers? I have no idea, but judging some one based on a tweet where they announced they had made a mistake that may have hurt two individuals is hardly fair.


I mean I think it's very telling since there was an acquisition nearly 6 months later by his previous company. That's quite an incestuous relationship, but hey he got his payday after removing two core contributors that were employees.

Why are you assuming they got severance? He wouldn't be legally complied to do so, and if he did he would have mentioned it.


I didn't assume anything, I suggested it may have happened. You seem to be the one assuming things and making accusations on another persons character. Its okay to ask questions, but we should do it nicely.


I know the people involved. It's not my business to publish their business, but I'm confident there's no malintent or hard feelings.

As Kenton mentioned above, Sunil is a good dude.
