Have you tried a change of name?

If your name is associated with these incidents and you need a fresh start, why don't you consider that as an option?

Obviously this might not pass the background check phase. But not all businesses do a detailed due diligence

Premature optimisation is a real pain when it comes to software design and architecture. However, abstraction is a powerful and necessary tool that can make our life a lot easier by avoid repetition (DRY - don't repeat yourself).

A good architect worth their salt will be able to find the right balance. To distill and simplify a problem down to the absolute minimum where it cannot and should not be abstracted anymore before it lose or miss its core objectives and reason to exist.

I think you could investigate offering a free open source version to the wider develop community to help them experiment and use the tool before committing to purchase it.

Then later on, plan on adding paid add-on features and professional support, etc.

That no matter how good you are at the tech. You need to mature professionally (comms, etc.) in order to avoid undermining your full career potential.

Oh Well, if Apple cannot do a half-decent App on windows maybe they shouldn't develop software targeting windows users until they can?

Microsoft, for example, are developing their Office suite of applications for OSX and they are not off the hook for any UI/UX issues for Mac Users. They must make the Apps work for that platform's users as they expect.

If they are marketing their platform and its services & Apps for other platforms, then at least they should give respect to those customer's choices.
