Yeah, 99% of everything is crap. Large companies aren't immune to that. If anything, the opposite. <shrug> whatchagonnado? :)

Public shaming works to stamp out activities that the shamee knows to be bad/anti-social. I think the case here is well-intentioned.

Public shaming also only works if the shamer knows they are right. I love giving a shaming as much as anyone else (maybe more?), but it's not a posture that's compatible with learning. It requires becoming entrenched.
