> I actually don't have any personal criticisms of Jarred

The whole post felt like a personal criticism of Jarred.

I'd consider the opinions professional criticisms of Jarred. While focused on him individually I don't think they are very personal

  • Personal and professional are not mutually exclusive.

    If I criticize your code, that is a professional criticism.

    If I criticize your code and say it reflects your consistent carelessness and stupidity, it is also personal.

    If I say you fabricated something, then that is a personal criticism, it alleges an ethical violation. In a professional context, it's also a professional criticism (every profession has some ethical standards).

  • > We probably tried to tell you to try enabling it and you didn't listen. We have good advice, damn it!

    Not knowing whether you actually gave the advice you're blaming them for not taking isn't professional, it instead comes across as bitter.

  • i think they are extremely personal and actually very distinct from professional criticisms.

    • Can you criticize a project which is mainly contributed and managed by one person without criticizing the same person who does the decisions that cause criticisms?

And literally 3 sentences later he goes back to insulting him ("productivity fantasy fever dream"). Even if that is true, it's still an unwise post to publish in this form IMHO. If the goal was to defend Zig, that could've been done in a less personal manner.

I think he messed that part up and it comes off as passive aggressive but he is probably scared of the “outrage” from the angels of the internet about how rude he was to Jarred

  • > Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs.

    I don't see anything business related in that statement.

    What's this new level of gaslighting? "It was not because of me, but because of the business situation I was in". Wait... wasn't he in that "business situation" because of actions HE took?
