What is offensive about this? The fact that someone on HN went to Harvard?
- mmmpop 9y agoEnvy I'd guess? There are probably a lot of reasons that some people resent Ivy League grads, probably the whole "legacy" model. I get that, but I know plenty that were just talented and worked very hard to be there. Haters gonna hate!
- tyrw 9y agoJust an odd take to me. HN was started by a Harvard alum based on experiences in the Harvard Computer Society, so this should be the last place that's an issue...
- mmmpop 9y agoI feel like a lot of people think of the worst type of legacy freeloader when they hear 'Harvard Grad', not that it's right.
