Do you know why he has such an aversion to HN?

  No -- I don't know him personally -- but I would guess that he thinks it's a pile of amoral greed-heads and ignorant children.

    amoral greed-heads and ignorant children. Basically HN is him when he worked for Netscape and he doesn't like the reminder...
    • hhbbhhg 9y ago
      Pretty 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.

      No, 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.

    Well, he isn't exactly wrong. But redirecting like that is pretty immature in itself.
    • miranda_rights 9y ago
      I 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.
