I really like this comment because I agree and was trying to write a comment that said this but not in a toxic way. People act like Hacker News is some bastion of discourse that is raised above the rest of the internet but it's not. Most of the comments I read are people stroking their ego's and enjoying the echo chamber.

- toufiqbarhamov 8y agoMother of god, that’s equal parts funny and just plain accurate. Dell wonders if maybe their hiring process can be improved. Hackernews debates whether this is a cynical attempt to mine talent from previously-overlooked seams or a genuine attempt to treat human resources as human beings. Some Hackernews consider labeling such personnel so their specific status is on display at all times, an idea that nobody got from Nazi concentration camps. Hole in one. Sometimes the best thing to do is just log off and remember that some people would argue about the correct oil used to boil them alive.
- MisterTea 8y agoWow both of us downvoted. Looks like no one likes a mirror being held up mixed with humor.
- dang 8y agoYour expectations may be too high. Collective behavior on the internet converges to toxicity. All we can do is mitigate it at the margins and try to slow down the decay. Your help would be appreciated.
