Not sure you read these responses, but thanks, appreciate your thoughtful response.
Definitely wish I had said what I said differently - you're right - it was an emotional response. I was in the middle of a busy day and didn't have to time to gather my thoughts better so it was all stream of consciousness.
That said, all my follow up responses were a lot more measured, and I even acknowledged that I shouldn't have used the language I used in that post.
I should know better than to call tech workers entitled on a site like HN and that's probably the best reminder for me out all of this - know your audience.
Regardless, apologies that you had to spend time cleaning this up.
- dang 9y agoNo worries. I do see that (and appreciate it) about your responses downthread . If you don't mind, I'll leave the long explanation at the top for others who don't. Lots of people on HN feel that tech workers are entitled. Some of them are tech workers, some not. Some are even entitled tech workers. It's complicated! So I don't think this is a question of the specific audience so much as human nature. Both sides of this happen to all of us all the time.
