> It’d be one thing if it was a scam, but poor execution, maybe let that go?
Poor execution is a form of scam to your customer. A promise unfulfilled, a delivery timeline slipped, an untruthful representation of the product and a fake review. They're all forms of what not to do.
Maybe it's not that you see this as me grinding an axe, but rehashing your failure and you have a far different perspective and sensitivity to addressing it. From PEP 20: "Errors should never pass silently." Maybe let's not bury the failures and show that those who are successful approach it in that manner.
I can understand it feeling like a scam. It’s hard to tell from the outside. See this talk I gave in 2018 for my perspective just about 5 years after the campaign started.
