IOTA Foundation vs "MIT" - thats professional public relations

So finally this will be my first steemit post - be aware of that.

During the last couple of months I got deeper into IOTA and found this project absolutely brilliant. Even tough I am not a developer and deep into the tech, some of their approaches seemed deeply disrupting to me.

Aside from the technical side a couple of public tweets from one of IOTAs founder David Sonstebo left me in doubt of the professional attitude of the team, especially him. I always kept in mind, that people often do judge from their first impression and such a thin-skinned reaction will cause some further doubts their approach when dealing with public criticism. Other users felt like that as well:

Success is not only about your skills, but about your ability to learn.

Seeing their response to the "MIT" on their medium blog today, convinced me that this team is learning - not only to develop groundbreaking technology - to interact with media and the public like a professional company (or in this case foundation).
