"Move fast and break things." I'm afraid getting there first is pretty much imperative.


Honestly, I don't understand why this site seems to hate Zoom so much. They're doing what all of the large players have done in the past. Why aren't they being congratulated for their success?

This is not meant to be snarky. They are literally living by the move fast and break things motto. Growth at the expense of everything else to win the market first, fix it second.

How are they not the golden child of SV right now?


People hate those large players too. Just look at how much hate MongoDB got for ignoring both reliability and safety.


It's just 2020 speaking, people outraged on the behalf of users who honestly don't care and just want easy to use videochatting.

This is just a symptom of ycombinator becoming a more widely known social network. All the malaises of social networks like pointless discussions about morality without any concrete solutions are coming along with that.


> pointless discussions about morality without any concrete solutions

The correct response to many moral issues is not to create concrete solutions, but simply to stop people from doing bad things.
