Lot of things can be said now after we saw what happened. If theymos would have knowed how things will end, I'm sure that would have done something different. Unfortunately, it ended as mistake, very expensive mistake.
Personally, I reacted to these news calmly as there weren't my money involved. If I would be one of donators, probably I would be disappointed or angry.
This is the first comment I see about the age of the developers (but much of this happened before I joined Bitcointalk). I don't think 25 years of age is bad for programmers: they probably had years of experience and are good coders. However, it sounds like they lacked oversight by an experienced senior (software engineer). Being a good programmer isn't enough, and seeing the bigger picture takes much more experience.
Not much is known about these developpers, so I'm wondering did their age was mentioned somewhere? And I don't really know how 25 yers is bad age. If it's implication that they were too young, then I don't agree. It's normal age for web developper and and many people already have enough experience at such age.
