Don't waste time disagreeing with people on social media, just prove them wrong by doing the right thing. People are really downhearted by how things have turned out in the tech industry, but maybe someday we will point to Arduino as one of the companies who turned that around. Good luck!

To word this differently... We here on HN have seen this go wrong 1000 times. But we hope Arduino is the project that manages to accept VC funding and still stay true to its opensource maker roots.
