Based on this Quora answer to "What was it like to help develop Paper?" (http://www.quora.com/Facebook-Launches-Paper-January-2014/Wh...), I expected it to at least fold my laundry and wash my car.

For what it's worth someone did a humorous "translation" of that answer. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b31d213d5a0d4e97b59e/raw/9...
I've got to admit, this isn't humorous to me at all. Mostly just pathetic, mean-spirited, and ... gross. Yet another example of someone hating anonymously from the sidelines.

I think our industry would be better off with fewer people doing that.

I think a lot of people took exception to his comment:

> I think the team behind Paper might be the best iOS team anywhere in the world, including Cupertino.

I actually think it's true (regarding the quality of the team), from a UI perspective, but it's better to let other sing your praises.

I don't disagree with you, but I'll take earnest if overzealous praise of one's teammates over anonymous trolling any day.
The original post was so cringe... glad someone translated it so we could see why.
After reading so much Valley hype day after day, that was a breath of fresh air.
>* Facebook is supposed to be like a glass through which you can see its contents.*

They should have called the app 'Glass'
