I'm just going to ask a question to the 110 people that voted for this "story".
Do we really think it's appropriate to air a company's dirty laundry and/or conflicts on Hacker News? I mean, that's the type of shit they do over at TMZ isn't it? Gossip about people?
I don't care who's an ass, who's been wronged and who has sand in their ovaries today. I don't come to HN for this.
- ajg1977 17y agoWell said. Lately many of the items posted on HN seem to be more about drama than thought provoking subjects.
- hugh3 17y agoI think it's a valuable case study in employee relations gone wrong. Hopefully someday, in years to come, somebody on the verge of writing a similar email will suddenly remember this story and think better of it.
- whalesalad 17y agoI'm glad that this was posted. I applied to Mahalo a few days ago because it's a Django gig in southern California. I was hesitant to apply because of some of the stories I had heard about Jason. However, I try to judge things as I see them, and wanted to give it a shot. I'm glad that this came out, because it's given me some more perspective on Mahalo and Jason.
- cookiecaper 17y agoI saw ads for Mahalo on CL in the last few days too and have purposely avoided them because I don't want the tarnishment of either Mahalo (a mass spammer) or Jason on my resume or psyche.
- _delirium 17y agoI guess I'd be happy to have an HN that was just technical content, with no VC/startup/funding/biz stuff at all. But if we're going to have it, might as well have the bad stuff too, not just the horn-tooting TechCrunch links...
