This is grimy of the domain king to air his dirty laundry on Twitter.
Since I've publicly said I was working with him I feel I need to protect my reputation, which is that of a rational, empathetic, fair, human being.
TLDR: DK doesn't know me and didn't care to get to know me.
From my (Developer) point of view.
The Partner reached out to me 10-ish months ago through my website at
https://www.jonesrussell42.xyz.
He was asking for help with stud.com.
I assessed the work done up to that point and it was unfortunately smoke n' mirrors from shady developers.
The Partner nor DK are not developers.
I:
- have been coding and IT'ing for 23 years
- poured all of my extra time into the project without pay or shares
- rewrote some of the smoke n' mirrors and ditched the rest. (ReactJS Frontend Microservice)
- wrote additional microservices from scratch using https://laravel.com (woo!)
- wrote the code to interact with escrow.com's sandbox services
- started drumming up sign-ups
At this point it's primed for it's first sale.
The Partner and I approached DK for a conversation which turned into a lecture.
DK said (paraphrasing):
- "I don't want a job"
- "I'm not putting anything more in until sales"
- and other rude things
Why would I bring DK a platform and sales and beg for a share?
