This seems to be about the only reasonable comment on this page, and yet the ones that are getting upvoted are the ones that are making excuses for mediocrity and criticizing 37signals for using attention to detail as a hiring criterion. (I can't upvote yours -- I lost my vote months ago when I downvoted all 20 or 30 copies of a multiply-posted comment, which the system interpreted as karma-bombing.) I hadn't believed news.yc was really headed downhill until I saw the comments here. If "details don't matter" is really the winning view, lolcats and "we'll do it live" post chains are probably not too far behind. (Edit: I just noticed the reason the parent comment is being ignored is more than likely just a timing issue.)
