Hacker News Reader

I'd like to know this too. The blog reads like someone patting himself on the back for pulling back from taking money from wealthy investors, while hiring someone who had a job and another offer then pulling the rug out from underneath them.

Also, what happened to his team of "night-time hackers" who actually built the MVP. Did they have any say in the decision to shut down or were they just cast aside?

I was one of them. We had many spirited discussions. TA was completely transparent about what was going on and we tried hard to find an angle to make it work. I look forward to future hacking with the others.

Probably it was saddest 30 minutes of her life o.O
