I am so unbelievably tired of the hacker news "you work for company x and therefore your opinion is tainted and you aren't allowed to have personal opinions" crap I don't even know where to begin. It's just another form of worthless bias being used to dismiss arguments.
It's no different than any other form of bias, even if it seems more socially acceptable here.
If you want to argue with what I actually wrote, happy to have that discussion. Otherwise, not interested, sorry.
- belltaco 8y agoIt's just weird when those so called personal opinions almost always support the company very strongly and are extremely negative about the competition since a very long time.
- tptacek 8y agoHey. This is a pattern of argument that is explicitly forbidden by the site guidelines. Please stop asserting, overtly or implicitly, that people are making arguments because they're shills for this company or that. Beyond that: I've read every 'DannyBee comment on HN for the past several years and I assure you he has far stronger opinions about register allocators and the LLVM development process and open source licensing than he does about people criticizing Google. I think you owe him an apology.
