What annoys me.
Today I got a rating for my course - two stars out of five - for noticing me too often asking for a rating.
We have already fought this phenomenon before, when Agata Konieczna received ratings with one star for the fact that the video did not work on the user's platform. It wasn't just one assessment.
Of course, I understand that ccFound needs polishing and some bugs (like the one above) are critical. Perhaps there is no clear path to contact support. But…seriously?
We destroy authors and their products in retaliation for errors on the platform? Especially even when the author published his course for free? I feel embarrassed.
Interestingly, I am now taking a course on the Masterclass platform (a company worth several billion dollars) and each lesson is interrupted in the middle by an advertisement for another course, and when I skip it, it takes me back to the beginning of the previously studied lesson.
Of course it pisses me off. But what does this have to do with the author of the content? Why do people act this way?
For something completely different. Yesterday, I reported probably eight errors to Karol, some of which had already been corrected and returned. Of course it pisses me off. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the development process, but…
Later in the newsletter I read that Atomic Wallet was hacked (I used it myself in the past!) and - I don't know how - $35M was stolen from people.
And besides ... the Twitter account belonging to the CTO of OpenAI (sic) was also hacked. They were used to promote crypto scam - giving away fictitious "OpenAI" tokens, I guess that by the way, phishing data or real money.
In both situations, I would have fallen to the ground. Our problems are nothing in the face of what happened to the creators of other projects just yesterday.
I've been accused of having little empathy in my life. Especially when I was so focused on the job that it became unpleasant. And I was focused on the job, because I empathically knew that people expect perfection in the free market, and if you don't meet expectations, the market will at most give us indifference.
Unfortunately, I do not code and do not repair broken training players myself. I can only whip programmers faster and look for ways to improve the management system.
Maybe there are different types of empathy. Empathy in being nice to people. Empathy in Entrepreneurship.
Maybe now I have little empathy for those who have little empathy for other people. Especially those who focused on a topic and invested several dozen hours of their lives to record something for us. They could have hacked smart contracts.
I'm not writing a moral because it's probably obvious. I just wonder if on a platform that is libertarian and anti-censorship, we have the right to remove such opinions at all.
