he's a terrible writer then.
- 011235813213455 9y agoHow does that make him a terrible writer?
- mcbruiser3 9y agobecause his message is unclear, clearly. even smart people on HN seems to be confused about his message. a good writer is not confusing.
- bherms 9y agoSeems more likely that the original commenter probably didn't actually read the article and just had a reaction to the title.
- mindcrime 9y agoNo, I read and understood the article. If I'm guilty of anything, it's reacting to more than just what this article is saying. But it strikes me as just one more in a long series of articles / essays / comments that have emerged over the past few years which, collectively, are promoting a message that denigrates the value of hard work and suggest that pretty much everything comes down to luck.
- bherms 9y agoYeah I agree that there have been a lot of articles that basically approach the topic (which I thoroughly believe in, that it's not just hard work that gets you to the top) with the tone of "hard work doesn't matter". I thought this one was good though.
- notacoward 9y agoInteresting. The parent was directed to mcbruiser3, and you responded as though it was directed to you. Having trouble getting your message out with only one account?
- grotsnot 9y agomindcrime is the "original commenter" that bherms is referring to...
- notacoward 9y ago> even smart people on HN seems to be confused about his message I see no evidence of that.
