To be clear, no co-founder has been responsible for any of that. You're referring to Jim Thompson, who purchased my other co-founder's stake in it.

None of the original people are involved anymore. I left last year for Ubiquiti.

Glad I no longer have to defend things. I'll leave it at that.

Uhh, you got on the wrong ship if you think Ubiquiti has nothing to defend, your employer is a constant and consistent GPL violator[1], and due to the constant failures and overpromisiong on features (TDMA in particular) alongside the serious supply chain issues Ubiquiti has had over the past decade, your major customers are dumping your hardware en mass[2].

I don't see Solar or IoT cameras/switches/power strips saving Ubiquiti either, the fiber CPE might buy your company a few months of runway, if supply issues don't strangle it tho.

You mean "glad you no longer have to make excuses for your inability to lead the project into the future." The recent changes in direction and actual tackling the hard problems has not gone unnoticed by me / others in the community. Kudos to the current team.

Hilarious, brand new account with one post. Another Jim sock account or one of his minions, they have a ton of them all over the Internet spewing garbage.

Anyone who's actually paid attention to the history wouldn't respond with that vitriol.
