hard words to hear

sometimes, working effectively with your developer community means listening to words that are hard to hear.

i'm not talking about flaming or mindless retribution - i'm talking about a well-written, insightful critique on something you put countless hours of energy, heart and soul into. sometimes, the input is a bit more raw, but they are voices of honesty and clarity and first-hand experience. words that make you sit back in your chair and think "yes, you're right. this should be easier."

speaking of words that are hard to hear, best of luck to Greg and Leah on their new adventures in LA.
