Why not? He should roll over and allow someone with more money and power to threaten them? No thanks, I applaud his actions because it takes courage to do that in such a position. The CEO is a public facing figure and deserves the scrutiny. He was treating the kid like a peon. This world would be a lot better off if more people took to the airwaves to call out insufferable CEOs who think they are above others because they got a large round.
I agree with you on all that especially the power dynamic, I just think the intern guy also is a bit socially unaware. I mean he basically copied his employers business lol.
Though as someone else said, if your moat is so shallow someone can copy it in a weekend…. Power to him.
Really i wish we could all just work together on great things
If some random dude on the internet copies it's ok, if he copies it, because he happened to work for them years ago it's not?
There's no logic to that.
> Really i wish we could all just work together on great things
Indeed, but for that to happen you need to be open-source since day 1, and not work for profit. And even then you get ego issues, which this CEO apparently has.
We'd need capitalism 2.0 because the current version just sets incentives to not make you work somewhat harmoniously together.
