Holy shit. It's basically "I'm sorry, but terrorists happened and people died, and now we can only build a small thing & only support OSX"

…have the balls to say "Yeah, we didn't understand the scope of what we promised, so we're pivoting/focusing"

Hmm, there's usually a "You are Google therefore *hand waves* instawrong about everything!" tweet by now

I think too few are in control of too much when it comes to the internet. That needs to change, but there needs to be earned trust.

@jaffathecake Hmm... an interesting opinion, which has the distinct tang of sour grapes...

@trevor_parsnip sour about what?

@jaffathecake Well, your comment about using the deaths in Paris as some kind of excuse was a direct dig at @aral, yes?

@trevor_parsnip yes, I thought it was hugely inappropriate to use that to cover up project mistakes

@jaffathecake That's somewhat of a huge assumption on your part, surely?

@trevor_parsnip that's how I and many others read it. "hard to write code when people are being murdered … So we’re making some changes"

@trevor_parsnip there's also prior art in making offensive comparisons with child abuse, so using terrorism isn't out of character.

@jaffathecake (I read the post and) I can't see the correlation between the Paris attack and their project o.0

@SaraSoueidan Me neither, perhaps it's a case of "our refocus is bad but not as bad as the Paris 'thing'" @jaffathecake
