It was candid and blunt. Those are the good attributes. They are not sufficient overcome the bad.
Here’s some examples of quotes from this article that would be flagged if they were posted on HN as comments. They’re pointless and are visible as a trend across many of this author’s posts. I can’t send this to coworkers because they might have grounds for an HR complaint. I can’t send this to peers because they’ll wonder why I would consider this acceptable to share with others. (I don’t.)

- cthalupa 7y ago>Here’s some examples of quotes from this article that would be flagged if they were posted on HN as comments. I see similar contents on HN quite frequently, some of them quite highly upvoted. I'm not sure I agree with the premise that these would result in comments being actioned on, assuming that the comment on the whole is substantive. As for HR and peers, I suppose it depends very much on where you work and who you work with. Most places I've worked, this wouldn't be a concern. A few places, it would have been.
