#3This documentary glorifies the insane practice of working unreasonably long hours to meet a self-imposed deadline. What bad things would have happened if the Mozilla release date had just been pushed back? Probably nothing. And maybe the quality of that initial release would have been better, and the people working on it wouldn't be burnt out afterward.

#5It Mozilla on an upswing or a decline since the Brendan Eich / Firefox OS stuff happened?
They're kind of shifting more from technology into politics. I heard they were cutting employees and divisions a lot.
I know former employees have to sign a waiver not to talk about their layoff, but why hasn't Mozilla's layoffs gotten any press, but startups do?

FF users have almost halved over the last 2 years, despite what feels like solid technology - I wonder what the folks at Opera Software think?

> FF users have almost halved over the last 2 years,
That's not what your linked chart shows. First, the chart is a % market share, not raw user counts. Second, ~18% down to ~13% isn't really "almost half" anyway.

The code mentioned in the documentary was thrown away at a later and they started over from scratch anyway didn't they?

agreed. I can't believe I had never seen this until a few months ago. Speaking of great tech documentaries, just got done with Jason Scott's BBS documentary, which was fantastic.
