When people get angry, stop and listen

Quote

when people get angry about stuff, typically what that means to me is that you need to stop what you're doing and listen.

Summary

After the cross-app and lightning comments drama, Dave says healthy projects can handle robust public debate without the usual flame war and fork. Anger doesn't mean the angry person is right. It's a sign to chill out, listen to what they're saying, and come back with a different approach. If you still can't agree, the world moves on.

    Because robust public debate and disagreement. There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
