It should never have gotten to the external feedback stage because internal feedback should have been sufficient to kill the idea before it even got a name due to it being such a security and privacy risk. The fact that it didn't is worrying from a management perspective.
You're on Lemmy so I assume you're in a tech job, so honestly I'm surprised by your surprise.
Yea, if it's anything like my tech job the peons were raging about it in their group chats while every successive manager up the chain raved about how great it was and how much progress they were making to the guy above him and silencing any dissent.
Exactly, we are on the same page.
That's why external feedback is needed. When you exist within a hierarchy you can discount your "lessers". Everyone needs feedback. "They should've known better" is a fine thing to say but not helpful in a system as devoid of morality or hope as capitalism is.
I'm not sure I'm surprised at this point any more, just disappointed. All they have to do is just make a stable and secure platform to run apps on. They're going to run out of foot to shoot themselves in sooner or later if they keep this kind of thing up. Too many unforced errors.
