as someone who has a bunch of adult friends getting autism or add/adhd diagnosed, there is an immediate phase of “all of my problems are caused by this”, followed by “how do i cope with this”, and finally “this is just helpful context for me”.
there are quite a few that get stuck on one of those phases, but largely most people loop back around to a more reasonable view.
i am attempting to say:
the way you give feedback is highly correlated with it landing.
your “mean” feedback is not, it speaks to why and does not just dismiss the author or try to trivialize a number. it provides clear links to issues, not just attacking the intelligence of the poster. you make a series of great points, reinforced by others feelings and examples of real world issues.
this feedback can be turned into something useful, allows reflection, and does not attack the authors entire reason to be here.
the original dude literally says:
1. 800 users is shit 2. your app had no effect 3. you dont even know how to choose a goal
you must be able to see this difference?
is asshole a diagnosis?
i hope your friends and family truly appreciate the perfection of your worldview, and can move fully to your simple answers
“if i do not think i am mean i can not be mean” is fundamentally the go to for bullies, this person included
you are failing in the same way as the original author by your own metric
my work is moving from supermicro to dell nodes due to the immaturity of the support (interface and personnel).
shareplay over facetime is wonderful. i have watched a few big movies with my buddies in this way
had musk not purchased tesla after the roadster was built, all of his claims would have been utter bull. now that there was an entry electric car he could spin any tale or justify any hype by pointing to the one functioning model.
from there it was absolutely the modern car manufacturers game, promise a concept, deliver some part of it, talk about next quarter.
frankly having level 4 self driving pulled of by mercedes in california first should be the ultimate proof. merc did it in house faster without hyping it. wild
