it’s kind of interesting to me, from a business standpoint that Tumblr in particular hasn’t adopted some form of transparency with regard to how they operate? Like, obviously, the user base of a social media site doesn’t need to know every little detail of how the site is run but imagine the goodwill that could be brought by a weekly or bi-weekly behind-the-scenes update as to the status of things?

e.g. “Replies are taking longer to reimplement than we had predicted due to a new coding method we decided to adopt for future site updates. We aim to have them back by x date. Thanks for your patience.”

 little bits like that wouldn’t be unwelcome at all I think.

You realize those updates would just be “Kevin got wasted on pbr and pushed an untested code update to the master and now everything about replies are fucked and we don’t actually know how to fix it, cause the person who got it working in the first place quit after that dude wouldn’t stop wearing his tie as a belt.”

Website update: Nothing is fucking working properly because everyone is too busy shopping for unusual ties to wear as belts. I’ve been alone in the office for three months now. I fucking hate you david karp.
