> I'm disappointed by Rich. Instead of thinking bigger, raising money (it would have been so easy, Rich, instead of doing proud conference talk after talk why didn't you talk to a VC??)—he just cashed out (sky-high compensation and ESOP). I lost all my respect. Not a rant to give you some background, one major reason we went with SvelteKit was not to rely on the Next team. And now, I am again with them.
Who the hell do you think you are? You don't know his situation. You don't know anything. How do you know he doesn't have a gravely ill family member and needs a steady income more than he needs to "think big" about a fucking javascript framework? How do you know he's not deeply in debt from a past mistake? How do you know he doesn't find the tech obsession with "VC" funding repugnant? No one needs sxiao's judgment.
Please don't respond to something bad by breaking the site guidelines yourself. It only makes things worse.
