- username223 9y agoYour loss. Jamie Zawinski probably helped write a lot of the software you're using right now, and has observed the internet almost since its birth.
- miranda_rights 9y agoDo you know why he has such an aversion to HN?
- username223 9y agoNo -- I don't know him personally -- but I would guess that he thinks it's a pile of amoral greed-heads and ignorant children.
- gaius 9y agoamoral greed-heads and ignorant children. Basically HN is him when he worked for Netscape and he doesn't like the reminder...
- hhbbhhg 9y agoPretty much that, I reckon. He’s warned anyone who would listen not to work as hard as he did while at Netscape. But at the same time, he did win the startup lottery, so there’s that.
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoNo, because HN is the people he worked for - the people who use him winning the startup lottery to explain away all the losers of that lottery and keep feeding young, impressionable people to the startup destruction machine.
- drb91 9y agoWell, he isn't exactly wrong. But redirecting like that is pretty immature in itself.
- miranda_rights 9y agoI agree. He could just redirect to a blank page but this puts him in a really bad light. I wouldn't care except I frequently browse HN at work when I'm getting settled in in the morning.
- barkingcat 9y agoThat's exactly what he wants from the horde on this site. To not visit his site :)
