> I'm disappointed by Rich. Instead of thinking bigger, raising money (it would have been so easy, Rich, instead of doing proud conference talk after talk why didn't you talk to a VC??)—he just cashed out (sky-high compensation and ESOP). I lost all my respect. Not a rant to give you some background, one major reason we went with SvelteKit was not to rely on the Next team. And now, I am again with them.

Who the hell do you think you are? You don't know his situation. You don't know anything. How do you know he doesn't have a gravely ill family member and needs a steady income more than he needs to "think big" about a fucking javascript framework? How do you know he's not deeply in debt from a past mistake? How do you know he doesn't find the tech obsession with "VC" funding repugnant? No one needs sxiao's judgment.
