Incredible to me that someone would write such a lengthy comment based on a headline alone.

  It's because so many posts on HN are cookie cutter - usually you don't need to read the post to know what the (same old) message is. You know: "Why my startup failed" (cause I built something no-one wants) "Why we switched from this technology to that technology" (because the old one sucked but the new one will solve all our problems) "How we built a startup that fixed hiring" (they didn't) "How to hire great people" (no-one knows) "Why we were rejected from YC" (can an idea be that bad?) "Our experience of interviewing at YC" (we were scared, it didn't take long, we got accepted!) etc etc

    Yeah, except this one is satire, and it's pretty good.

      I'd like to believe that both paxunix and andrewsteward wrote those comments after having read the article, but pretended like they didn't for the Internet points. Actually makes the comments a bit funnier.

    If everyone is talking and no one is listening what is the point?

  Good hires don't need to read the whole article

  And by doing that, completely missed the point of the article.
