@marcoarment yeah but how is your blogging engine holding up to the traffic?
I should feel good about this, but I don’t. I inadvertently caused a shitstorm of negativity, and it feels horrible. It’s not worth it.

@RezOtaku Perfectly fine, load average of 0.4. It’s Apache serving static files.

@marcoarment this is one of the painful things about being in the media. but I chose this life ;-) -
-
@marcoarment Had to be said and you were the one to say it. I’m sorry it’s taking a personal toll, but I’m glad you said it. - Show more

@marcoarment Criticism, when well-founded, is absolutely worth it. It's the fear of upsetting the waters that prevents truth from emerging. -
-
@marcoarment it needed to be said. sure it triggered the release of pent up bile, but then productive conversations can start. -
@tedsvo Can you shoot me a link to some of the "bile?" -
@eli_schiff I'd check the hacker news threads for a taste -
@tedsvo This thread looks pretty tame: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8836734 (Not entirely sure how to do search on hacker news.) -
@eli_schiff you're right, bile was the wrong word. Just referring to pent up "ugh I know I hate bug x" that I've been reading since 11pm

@marcoarment A shit storm is probably the only thing that’ll motivate change, so I also applaud and thank you for stepping up. -
@marcoarment I wish someone with skills could Photoshop the MR ARMENT GOES TO CUPERTINO poster I have in my mind@darth oops -
@marcoarment Someone has to stand up and say something that isn't all hearts and flowers for things to change. Not fun, but it's needed. -
@marcoarment Sometimes a shitstorm of negativity is necessary, or at least inevitable. It’ll be fine. -
@marcoarment underneath the negativity and media shitstorm is a real discussion, believe it or not. Don't feel too bad. -
-
@marcoarment might have been more constructive if you’d identified actual problems the team could fix. Which bugs are annoying you? -
@marcoarment try replacing “iOS”/“OS X” in your article with “Overcast” and see how useful you’d find the criticism as a vendor.

@marcoarment on the contrary, you made a big splash that probably got a good amount of attention at Apple. -
@marcoarment Better that you raised this point than, say, Ron Enderle. Apple might take it seriously.
