As a marketer, engineer, and exec lol, I think pickardt is off the mark here with us not getting a second chance. There’s many chances if you are actually making progress toward delivering a 10-100x improvement on something.
Strike has probably sent more lightning payments than any other entity on the network. I'm pretty sure they have a pretty good idea of how reliable/unreliable lightning payments are. Better than Rene's jupyter notebook simulations...
Payments frequently fail and the rate of failure increases for larger amounts … or so I’m told by friends who use Lightning even more regularly than me. I imagine this is mostly due to unavailable liquidity on the path from the sender to the receiver

Marketing: We're launching
Engineering: It's not ready. Gonna break. Its not perfect.
Execs: Lets Go!

The LN network will Grow. I remember using Internet in the 90s. Very slow and lots of broken links. Anyone remember downloading files over usenet?
And look at the internet today!

I believe they use a lot of private nodes an private channels in their backbone.

Strike has well-funded channels with every major wallet, exchange, merchant there is.
Sending payments will not be a problem at all.

Learned that there are people too old to know (or to remember) what is Wazzzup , or too young!! So here's a couple links:

I'm confused what he means here. Why is it unreliable by design?

And don’t forget channels going offline randomly. But hopefully over time it becomes more reliable.
