How can you judge what is true when you don't even know what the truth is? Did you work at Digg? I can assure that while there were of course sub-par employees, they are now what I would attribute to v4's failure.
Thanks for sharing Chris, great last blog entry on your site, very honest and to the point. I worked at BigCo for 3 years, quick BigCo, consulted for 7 yrs, started an Agency for 5 yrs, then sold it last year.
Now I'm back to consulting, taking a breather, as those 5 years were many 70hr/weeks of blood/sweat/tears.....get ready for the same :)
