You mention it but I just want to reinforce it. I don't go to PH at all but I see the issue on HN all the time. People writing a comment and suddenly the "at [company], we bla bla..."
- dang 10y agoReally? I don't see it all the time, and I think a little bit of referring to your own company/startup in relevant contexts is ok. If people overdo it, we ask them to stop (and in extreme cases ban them), so feel free to email hn@ycombinator.com if someone is overdoing it.
- brazzledazzle 10y agoIt generally annoys me when I see it no matter what site I'm on but you're right, on here it's rare and more importantly this is HN so you should expect a bit here and there. Most of the time these people are just excited about something they're creating.
- dang 10y ago> just excited about something they're creating Well put. That's the kind we want to encourage, and if someone goes beyond that and overdoes it, it's not hard to take care of.

- wingerlang 10y agoI might just be that the comments I do read (in relevant contexts or not) stands out for me a lot due to their predictive formula. Is there some way to search comments for regex? Just for my curiosity.
- dang 10y ago> Is there some way to search comments for regex? Not publicly that I know of. Might make a good API project.
