When was it shameful to work there?
Certainly it's less shameful than working at Betabeat, judging by the writing in this article.
Not that you are wrong about the writing, but the writing on the article is on par with similar content churn based sites, which has more to say about the collective reader base than the writer, in my opinion. They shouldn't be ashamed, they are writing exactly what they were asked for by their editor.
I turn off adblocking on long form well-written articles in order to support real writing for just this reason, though I wish there was an automatic way to do that.
edit: yes than, not then, and also churn, not church. That's what I get for writing on my phone.

By the same logic, Yahoo employees shouldn't be ashamed either; they were just doing what management asked them to do!

Surely you mean "than." I blame the collective reader base of your comments though, so don't sweat it.
Maybe I'm being unfair, but my immediate response to that headline was the traditional response to the statement "size doesn't matter":
"Oh." [Pat, pat.] "Did somebody tell you that, dear?"

Anyway, I went to a recruitment event for Yahoo Mail recently. They had a lot of people from Oracle who came, ancedotally, but their back-end is Java, so that isn't hugely surprising.
How does this get on hacker news -_-
Enough people upvoted it for it to make the front page. If you don't think it's appropriate, flag it and move on.
I used to flag dumb submissions, but since that was usually half the front page, a mod disabled my flag button.
Yahoo probably wants to hire devs.
