> this story is just an anecdote
All Daily WTFs are anecdotes, designed to appeal to IT engineers and programmers, and usually portraying business owners and managers (and the other programmer) in an unfavorable light. It's a formula.
Totally useless for any insight about how to start or run a business.
- metra 17y agoBut very useful for laughs. I doubt anyone on HN is really basing hiring decisions off of this one anecdote. Lighten up people, it's a funny story.
- wgj 17y agoDidn't mean to sound that heavy. The daily wtf is in my rss; I read them all. (That's why I know the formula so well.)
- blasdel 17y agoAll DailyWTFs submissions get mangled and rewritten by Alex before being posted, often to the point of having nothing left from the original. At least Atwood drops a few big <blockquote>s in before inserting his inept analysis. He's a hack. He has a thing for turning factual accounts into shitty urban legends.
