So... not that much about Valve, but quite a lot of parallels with other structureless entities. Seems like a clickbaity worthless read. Used to not have those on HN.
- dojomouse 7y agoThere were numerous direct references to Valve, explanations of issues in the context of Valve, and commentary from Valve employees. As someone who really liked the ideals and concepts of the Valve handbook but struggled to see how to extend them to my own (hierarchical) workplace, I found it quite enlightening.
- mikestew 7y agoUsed to not have those on HN. Says the account with one submission in eight years.
- Smithalicious 7y agoI don't see how the number of submissions is relevant. People should be able to point out a (perceived) decline in quality without immediately being hit with "well I don't see you fixing things either!".
- mikestew 7y agoOne submission, and 58 points, in eight years; not exactly a high-engagement community member on a website I'd consider to be community-driven. If you're not part of the solution, and all that.
- nabergh 7y agoOne could argue that refraining from submitting low quality content is being part of the solution. Some people would rather this site have only a few submissions per day than be filled with low-quality content.
- dx7tnt 7y agoPlus Karma, fundamentally, shows you have nothing better to do... Lurkers are valuable too, even if they do only give their two cents once every eight years.
- Raphmedia 7y agoI have 5725 points and I consider that most of them are the equivalent of small talk. Points are worthless, except to inflate your ego.
