MODERATORS
They complain about unprofessional communications then fill this article with whining like this:
And they never seem to consider that maybe their own code wasn't as great as they thought:
Why does the author expect it not to have problems? I know from experience that you can hand over your best, most thoroughly tested code to someone else and they'll immediately find a problem you have never seen. How professional are these people if that surprises them? "But it just needs debugging!" is not the response of someone who knows what they're doing and just needs a second pair of eyes on the code.
In the end this blog post backfires. They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.
Edit: After reading the links in another comment on this thread (sorry for the instance-specific link, will fix if someone can advise me on a better syntax), and in this reddit thread this is evidently only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Malibal's behaviour. Definitely a company to avoid.
Huh, apparently they sometimes behave like that with customers as well: https://lemmy.ml/comment/14451901
