I just wanted to say, while I think this feature was a bad idea, I sincerely applaud your willingness to post here, knowing you'll get roasted. Seriously brave and commendable.

They pretended to be fronting up but didn’t respond to anything after that. Doesn’t seem very commendable to me.
Someone made a mistake, owned up to it and fixed it. No one is entitled to more than that for a free software.
Anyone with a bit of software experience knows it’s easy to miss things when you are doing your own tasks + context switching + giving reviews. We should exercise kindness and empathy instead of projecting evil intentions.

Funny how these "mistakes" only seem to happen in ways that align with the agenda of the supposedly non-evil corporation.

That's a good point, let's see if they come back and respond. It is the middle of the night in the US so they may be sleeping
It is the middle of the night and I am responding. Anything specific you'd like me to respond to?

Other people aren’t your slaves. You don’t get to demand they respond immediately, and this Reddit-like mindset needs to die. HN is a place where we often can actually get devs from companies responding directly and listening to feedback, and this hostility is looked at by all the other devs from those similar companies and remembered when it’ll be their turn.
Stop making HN a worse place for everyone by being unnecessarily hostile. (and this comment is only mildly directed at you but rather at a bunch of people in this thread)
their comments are dead, probably related to it being a new account
I really did create a new account to respond :)
