Unless you’re chronically online, it’s very easy to miss these parts of the process. I’ve certainly interacted with him on github and other fora, but never twitter or anywhere else where the shitposting echochambers were present, so it was news to me as well. In fact, I’m even _pro_ having someone like Travis on the board who works in defense, as long as they have enough of the requisite professionalism to address the fact that people are wary of the industry as a whole. It sucks to deal with, but the way HF responds to criticism is just as important as getting it right the first time around, in the case where a mistake is made. I don’t think anyone’s going to permanently hamstring anyone over this - the only reasonable thing anyone can ask is just accountability and a change in process or attention going forward. I’m glad we’re seeing it. I think you’ve done wonderfully in response to this blow up.
