Good story and a good guy, he will have no shortage of hackers in whatever future ideas he wants to bring to life. Reputations like that are golden in this industry.
Obviously reputation means squat, since nobody seems to remember these things past the current news cycle. What are the chances that this is a PR puff piece to try and salvage his reputation amongst developers?
I generally don't read these kind of stories so I did not know the history, thank you for the link. I still think what he did here outweighs a unsavory twitter post about an individual. There could be a lot of dynamics to a single relationship, while not cool, the post very well could have been accurate, for all I know. What I do know though is bringing a bunch of developers back on so that they can get a deserved payout is a pretty honorable move in my book. It very well could be a PR stunt but it is a pretty costly one if that is the case, though not out of the realm of possibility, I cant see someone worrying that much about a bad twitter comment.
