@below Hi!

@rjbs “You call this a feature request?” /s

I completely agree that Casey's criticism has the ability to attract more attention than you or I could, but wouldn't you want it to be considered based on its merit and not disregarded due to negativity? @siracusa is a perfect example of being able to deliver some of the most incredibly insightful feedback I've heard without being mean, whether it's about an indie app or something put out by a larger company. (3/3)

Leadership tend to be people too. 😉 So I'm not sure if the intended target makes a difference. My concern is not the criticism itself, but the manner in which it is conveyed. While an edgy tone might seem entertaining, it's counterproductive and often overshadows the essence of the feedback with negativity. I'm speaking broadly about the increasing negativity I've observed over the last couple of years, but my perspective may be skewed by listening to the unedited versions of ATP. (2/3)

@mitchchn @roustem @caseyliss @havn I can say with 100% certainty that some developers feel Casey's criticism targets them personally, although I don't share this perception. I'm also not a target of it. However, knowing this and being a Casey fan is why I'm speaking up. I'm not joining the debate on the decisions that were made; I simply wanted to let someone I respect know they are coming across as a bully (in my opinion), which we already have plenty of in tech.
