Everyone take a moment to read and absorb Novati's rebuttal: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45524707

Novati makes two relevant points:

1) Article author did not reach out to Novati for comment.

2) Codesmith ran a misguided marketing campaign that ran afoul of Reddit auto-mods.

These seem like reasonable responses to me. Are they true? I don't know, but I would like reasonable discussion about it.

I really get the impulse to vent when reading about something so outrageous, and in a way this kerfuffle represents the arbitrary unfairness of power leveraged from the shadows, but is that happening here?





Or you could just downvote without comment. That's an option.
