  Why would you allow one anecdote from five years ago stop you?

    Because one is enough. It tells about their hiring practices does it not?

      Hiring practices change drastically in five years. Not sure if srs

        Fair point. I generally think edge cases are still a good indicator. How do you treat those not worthy than those who are. I bet they just hired someone else so did not bother following up.

    Look at the person's post history that you're replying to. The fact they have two grey'd comments in this thread is just a touch of what their post history contains. As HN grows, I learn more to consider who I'm responding to before giving them my time replying.

  A testimony from some random internet stranger tilts your judgement of such a huge life decision as a career change? How can you be sure my story is accurate? For all you know I might have given them the wrong number or some other error on my part.

    Originally I was being sarcastic, but aren't you also a stranger? We are all strangers. The fact that his response was gray doesn't make him more of a stranger than you not being gray. Perhaps they made an account to voice his opinion?
