An employment ended by the employer in less than a year because the employer "changed their plan" (according to the former employee) doesn't look like a success to me.

The article literally says:

    Last year Ubiquiti Networks hired me, Paulus Schoutsen, the founder of Home
    Assistant, to work full time on improving Home Assistant. This has really helped the
    project make big leaps towards getting to 1.0. During this time, Home Assistant added
    an authentication system, the concept of devices and areas, a UI for configuring
    integrations, and the new Lovelace UI, just to name a few things.
... along with:

    We left on friendly terms and I want to thank Ubiquiti for this tremendous
    opportunity, it has given the Home Assistant project a significant boost.
Sounds like it moved the project forward in good ways that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Personally, I'd call that a win. :)
