A succinct description of what's wrong with #Mozilla

http://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html

Firefox usage is down 85% despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up 400%

Mozilla is in an absolute state: high overheads, falling usage of Firefox, questionable sources of revenue and now making big cuts to engineering as their income falls.

Maybe it's time to replace the entire board at #Mozilla

Clearly, the project doesn't have competent leadership or else there's no way that an org which receives enough yearly funding to launch its own space program is floundering

@cypnk I think another contributor is that Google is ramming new web standards for the crap programmers. The features are often broken and not available across platforms, but the idiots actually think that "it works on my computer" is an excuse.

The number of stores that I visit and have to figure out how large of a screen it was made on is nuts. All so that I can see everything or just click a button.

@souldessin Yup. It's turn-and-burn programming with no thought whatsoever to sustainability. And store owners don't care either as long as products sell, but there's a point of diminishing returns for terrible stores. Imagine how many sales are lost to cheap and fast rubbish
@cypnk I agree. I'm also taking that phrase for use in other confederations; it's perfect.
