"A moment of accountability and growth" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"A moment of accountability and growth"

What they really mean

I need to acknowledge the mess without admitting too much

"The past few months have been a moment of accountability and growth, and I'm committed to learning publicly from the experience."

"I am apologizing in the broadest possible terms while keeping legal exposure to a minimum."

It was absolutely a failure

Our original idea failed catastrophically

We made an app for something that already works fine
