One thing I love about HN is the willingness of people to name names in stories. I don't always do it because of fears of repercussion, but I appreciate people like you who do. Thanks for saying the word "Accenture".
- tootie 9y agoPeople have very public debates about consumer brands. Apple or Google or whatever. These B2B businesses can stay out of the spotlight and get far less press. There's an open market for their services and their value is based on reputation, so why not express some unvarnished opinions? Especially when I'm being anonymous online.
