I don't want to be angry, but when I pushed for something and what we got wasn't what I meant and then people start blaming me... it's difficult, especially when far less of what was implemented actually had anything to do with me than people now assume. I was so frustrated at the time and quite despondent at the results.
I can't even remember what happened with what, which changes were made with 2.1 and those with 2.2, it's all a bit of a blurr in my mind, whether any suggestions I made happened in the latter or the former. I admit I had some contact with one member of the team at one stage of one of them, though a lot less than some other people (and from what I understand there were a few), and we mostly argued. I probably made more impact posting here.
The whole thing reeked of design by committee, not by a single person or coordinated team and that nothing was ever discussed. I was going to add some metaphor here about string, cat's cradle or something but now I'm just getting fed up remembering it all and can't be arsed. It was a mess.
If anything really was my fault I'm sorry (seriously it was eight years ago (?), I was different person) but can we please move on?
Edit: Ugh, I thought that would be cathartic. Now I just feel like I want to go down the pub....
