He's either valuable enough that the company will preserve his feelings and go back to the old system, or the new work is important enough that they'll thank him for his past contributions and carry on with the business at hand. | |

| Dec 4, 2018 at 14:09 | comment | added | dwizum | based on your second to last paragraph, I'm not sure why you still need the other developer. You're saying that the new system is operational and bugs are addressed quickly. It may hurt to have burnt a bridge, but what are you hoping to get out of mending the relationship? | |

| Dec 4, 2018 at 12:08 | comment | added | Caroline | Is it possible to phone this person? In my experience people are more reasonable when they are speaking to someone, rather than just writing an email. | |
| Dec 4, 2018 at 12:01 | comment | added | serge1peshcoff | I don't have such a possibility, as we are living in different cities and meeting in real life is not an option for me. | |
| Dec 4, 2018 at 12:00 | comment | added | Caroline | Did you apologize in person? Did you speak with this person face-to-face? | |

| Dec 4, 2018 at 10:26 | comment | added | serge1peshcoff | @rath valid point. Our problem was, since it is all voluntary, there were little to no people who wanted to test it and give their feedback. Given that, we decided to rely only on our internal testing and kinda enforce using it. I'm still not sure if if was the right decision and how it could be done in other way. | |
