Pinja Jarvinen

Today is the day I accept my silence.

I used to think that if I worked hard enough and shared my story honestly, the world would listen. I am a software dev who was born with a hardware error. After 19 surgeries, I thought my 20th would be my upgrade to stereo sound.
After seeing 800,000 people pass by my project like I’m a ghost, I finally understand. I am meant to be incomplete. I’m giving up on the Angel of Sound project. I’m giving up on the surgery. I will just be the guy with the asymmetric face and the mono hearing. To those who actually tried to help, you made me feel human for a second. Thank you. Goodbye.

Putting bias aside, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where it gets complicated At least from my perspective.

the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.

the follow-through is what will decide this which is why this is getting picked apart This could age very differently in a week.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome Feels like an opening move, not an ending. At least from my perspective.

Without overthinking it, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That part stands out. Time will tell. Others will probably see it differently.

To be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s the part people are stuck on Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s the impression it gives me.
