Apology. Re: State of Tech Bros on Social Media

"Resentment and complaint, is neither good for oneself, nor for others".

Yesterday I made a post on Tech Bros from some companies and how they behave on social media. I also wrote I don't want generalize this to whole workforce of these companies.

Apparently, Grapevine team posted it on Twitter and it has gone kinda viral. I saw few tweets by folks at RazorPay and honestly my rant wasn't meant for them. I actually admire one of the guy there as an engineer.

But still I can't live with the thought that I made someone angry or sad.

So I want to apologize for the post I made yesterday and have deleted it.

@Grapevine team. I know this post won't make for a good marketing material but it would be great if you could tweet this. It will take some load of my chest.

Thanks!

Hey, does Vercel hire from India?

I checked the job board at https://vercel.com/careers and it doesn't have India/APAC/similar as location filter.

Hey there @BladeRunner007

We thought you wrote something really funny and the post was light and written in good spirit. Definitely not targeting anyone in specific.

We regularly put some of the best content from here on social. Did not know that someone felt bad because of it. Apologies if you felt bad too

Hey @Micheal_Scott , first of all sorry for this post. I mean, pretty sure you guys have better things to deal with. It's just that I realized my post could spoil someone's mood and make someone's day bad. I also posted it on a lighter note but few folks got offended. Because of this I thought it might be the best thing to apologise.

@BladeRunner007 honestly you seem like a really kind and funny person. Always available to chat or talk more about this or anything else. I mean it.

Have an awesome Friday evening!

I was today years old when I discovered that Grapevine had a Twitter.

@Micheal_Scott I’ve always wanted to ask this but why don’t you guys focus on marketing this app more ? I mean you guys prob thought about it already and weighed the pros and cons but just a doubt as I feel like this app has a lot of potential to be the next big thing but I’ve barely seen any kind of ads or stuff for Grapevine.

@RichDadsPoorSon thanks for your comment. This is validation that you think there’s something good here. And a hard realization that we’ve sucked at marketing this thus far.

Do you have thoughts/ideas you want to discuss in more depth? Always open to talk more

I would imagine those people would’ve more thicker skin as they invite all kind of attention with what they do… Sure some are genuinely nice among them and maybe that’s why they took it more to heart but what I wanna say is that the internet is much darker than this. If genuine folks are deterred by some haters then the objective behind what they do is definitely weak. Anyway things like this come & go, nobody is gonna think about it after few days. Altho things like Sushant Singh Rajput still create murmur
