There will always be an opposing force to your success. Success means working against entropy and winning, not the easiest job in the universe. Since you've founded a few companies you probably know this quite well already.

I think this particular opposition is minimal and can be easily and completely disregarded though.

You posted a project description that you thought was sufficient for the kind of person you were looking for and you got a good response and you fixed your problem. Now somebody says you're doing it wrong.

Hack on! Live the dream!
