We can agree to disagree on Andy. Whilst I obviously didn't know specfically how Andy would end up crapping all over his company and customers, the reality is I did and its why I left. Simply because the old adage has never been proven wrong in my experience
"When they show you who they are, believe them."
Let's watch this play out over time, this all gets far worse the longer Andy is around. Andy will continue to reveal his chameleon self, we've only seen the surface.
I also would like to see a CEO who is more on board with fighting big tech. I dislike that reddit is their go-to forum, that the linux drive client has taken forever, etc. Andy seems more interested in the business side and less the stated values of the foundation. I don't know how much of that is necessary vs detrimental
