Agree with all points made. Especially with the first point (engineer hiring tends to be one dimensional) as well as the “your company is who you hire” point - and even the google example given for that point. Google is great at software. No one writes better software than google hands down, but what you/they learn is that it’s not always about how good you code (else GCP would be the #1 cloud platform). Great write up
I think you’re being downvoted because of that very first sentence (no matter how much I hate the guy, laying the blame 100% on his frail shoulders seems a bit hyperbolic).
But I don’t see what’s downvotable (if not agreeable) about the rest of what was said
As a regular of WSB, this article is just absolutely absurd. Which I guess is the regular for Bloomberg these days (seemingly the Buzzfeed of business news it appears). All you'll find on WSB is a bunch of homophobic bored desk workers. The idea that subreddit of only a few thousand guys (mostly) with an extra $500 to blow on meme stocks can move a stock in _any_ significant way is laughable.
Same here. It's incredibly striking to sort of see the pieces laid out in front of you, really _feel_ that they put together facts, but not have the glue you need to objectively/factually put them all together.
To me it feels like the "Israeli operative" scenario seems pretty legit.
Not even from a community management standpoint, but more so just from a UX standpoint. As a HN reader, I don't just wanna read the top 5 or so parents (which is all I can read without scrolling for 2 mins, _especially_ on mobile). I want to read all the parents, and have the option to go into the thread should I so chose. Just me though
I’ve been suggesting the comment collapse idea for a while? Where can we put up a PR for this? Collapsing comments for HN’s comment scale is damn near required at this point.
As a huge basketball fan I think this is great. As a US citizen roughly familiar with the NBA and how they come after platforms that use their content in ways that they don’t condone (e.g., /r/nbastreams, RIP), I don’t see this lasting very long.
Product Management. On some level, _everyone_ at the company is involved with product. It's at the intersection of virtually every department (engineering, sales, design, research, etc), but is incredibly demanding :)
