I mean I already have a cushy IPO exit under my belt as a lead platform engineer.

So yeah already did it, global b2b product used by millions daily. I have nothing to prove anymore besides my current company that I’m doing on my own.

Everyone else can do whatever insignificant and make mistakes that’s on them.

But the fact I said "quality" and you conflated it with "I worked at a company that IPO'd and had lots of users" kind of says it all doesn't it?

For me good product is more of a passion than proving anything to anyone. And I definitely don't get better at product by victim blaming.

From one founder to another, you'll get further if you learn to learn, instead of flipping out because your bad take was called out as a bad take.

This is pointless. Moomoo, nobody is excusing Tea, it's just that Firebase is also not designed well.
