Tell HN: Triplebyte reverses, emails apology

I totally agree with this. When I see corporate apologies I look for two things:

1. Actions speak louder than words. In this case, they are reversing what originally caused the outcry.

2. Did they look introspectively to try to really understand what made people mad in the first place. In this case I believe the CEO did.

If we don't ever accept sincere apologies, then we're left with a world where there is never an incentive to apologize and improve. Frankly, seeing a taste of this in US politics with politicians doubling down on their past mistakes even when confronted with all evidence to the contrary - this is not a path I'd prefer to go down further.

I look for one more thing:

3. What steps the corporation took to prevent this issue from occurring in the future.

While a believe that the CEO is sorry, I can't consider the issue resolved without #3.

This is an important point, and it's something I'm thinking a lot about right now. I don't have an answer, but I want to talk to my team and make an announcement in the next few weeks.

It is sad that you felt you had to use a throwaway account to post this totally reasonable opinion.

It’s a three year old account. Not everyone wants a HN account in their real name.

This kind of missed my point. I know this is not something we are supposed to talk about, but I miss the old HN. The sad thing is these days I get more value reading the new post raw feed than the conversations on the front page.

I didn’t miss your point. Your point was not based in reality.

Not only did you miss my point, you made it.
