- jacquesm 16y agoHey but what a way to raise your own visibility by pushing down on someone else. Tragedy indeed.
- BrandonM 16y agoOK, point taken. It might have been more difficult, but it could definitely have been possible to give him a strong endorsement without the rest of the post. Then he could have sent Patrick an email with the rest, indicating that the blog post might be a good reference.
- Confusion 16y agoNot if you think the advice is worthwhile to others as well. There's no reason to assume shady ulterior motives when there is a perfectly simple explanation: it's just an error of judgement.
- Psyonic 16y agoUltimately such a critique implies that the author is an authority figure qualified to give such a critique. It's really hard to see it as anything but self-promotion, especially when done so visibly.
- bugsy 16y ago"if he was really thinking about Patrick he'd have emailed him the advice" Well part of the post was telling the public that Patrick would be a bargain to hire at a $200,000 salary. That specific part works better in a public post.
- awa 16y agoSomebody offering a $200K salary should better find out himself whether a person is worth that much rather than from a random guy on the internet
