Guys, guys … calm down, @elan ist only the CTO.
He is not the only person in this company
If bugs and features aren’t being prioritized properly, or teams aren’t communicated with the Plex community, he’d love to hear about it, because that’s unacceptable. But there aren’t enough hours in the day for him to be aware of everything on these forums, so he tends to focus on an area where he thinks he can have meaningful impact.
Also we’ll have to clarify that the role of a CTO of a company is generally technology choices and roadmap, not product decisions and roadmap (that’s the chief product officer’s job, @elan’s co-founder), not executive decisions (that’s the CEO), not scheduling and managing the engineering team (that’s the VP of Eng) and not product support (that’s the customer success and QA team). Now he is also a co-founder of the company, so he cares deeply about it, and spends most of his waking hours working on Plex in some capacity, which sometimes goes beyond the traditional CTO role (which is why he is in here chatting with you fine folk).
I think we’re all aware that that is, word for word, what @elan says…
So, why are the CEO, the VP of Eng, Head of Customer Success and QA team not on here?
If @elan cares so deeply about this, he should be talking to all these people right now.
In another thread, a Plex Team Member said the following about ongoing issues - a user has posted a list of bugs in the Windows UWP Application, which was referenced in another thread about lack of customer service.
This is not me having a go at the Plex Team Member - I truly believe that the did all that he could.
The Plex Team Member said the following in October last year:
“I’ve reached out to both teams and management for info. I am 90% certain of one but only 10% of the other. I am trying to get both at 100% verified before I share. I don’t want to say the wrong thing. This is too important.”
In November, the Team Member posted this:
"Should be but nothing heard back but all i still have is
SHRUG
Nobody on my team knows definitively either so we just asked again."
And later,
“I brought it up in our team meeting today. We all agree this needs resolution.
We also agreed to push it to our ‘spotlight’. It gets no higher visibility than this. Everyone on the management team sees it.”
My emphasis. That was in November last year, and the issues are no further forward.
So, the question is simple. Do you really believe that the CTO, CEO, the VP of Eng, Head of Customer Success and QA team, old uncle Tom Cobley and all, aren’t aware of the problems that are being reported in the forums? Aren’t some, or all, of them on the management team? If not, who is, and what are they doing?
