>“Well, I have news for you: some things are just hard. There’s no way of getting around it.” If you think this, but I have a way to make something 10x easier that you can't or don't know how to do then I can sell my idea to you as a service for a monthly subscription fee.

I doubt you have a way to do anything significant.

  Don't change the topic. We're talking about you and your entire career spent making systems that only exist because of sales people have insider connections with big companies. Then ERP locks in their tech in by tightly integrating your shit system with business processes so the company can never leave without a massive overhaul. ERP is another word for technical debt that can never be removed. Nobody would be using your shit product otherwise.

    It was the first 7 years of my career - not my whole career. Of course there is a large amount of lock in, how else would it work? You're modelling every business process on software, to move away from that would be costly. That's the very nature of software, especially complex software modelling real world complex critical processes. This isn't some ticketing app written in node that you can change as easily as your socks. This is the system that powers the worlds finance systems and supply chains. I'm aware of the downsides, I've written whole chapters in books about the downsides. DO you think your 22 year old smart arse ignorance is somehow impressing me? It's easy to hate something that's too complex for you to understand. Idiots have done that throughout history.

      >DO you think your 22 year old smart arse ignorance is somehow impressing me? Get off your high horse. Do you think your words would make anyone want to impress you? I assure you 100% I absolutely give 0 shits about anything that you've done. Let me tell you what's going on in my mind so you can understand your fellow humans better: I fucking hate you. I want to end you. Do you fucking get it? I think you represent one of the worst examples of how low humanity can sink. Lack of respect for other people, complete arrogance and inability to communicate respectfully with another person. >t's easy to hate something that's too complex for you to understand. I don't hate something I don't understand, I ask questions, try to find out more. What I hate it people who lack common human decency (you).

I'm sad to ban someone who's been here for 9 years and made many positive contributions, but the damage you did in the last 24 hours on HN is outrageous, and this has been a problem more than once in the past (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17791870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17791870).

        It's ok. I expected this. Consider this a criticism of HN. Maybe one day I'll email you and give you a reason. But I can always just make a new account. Basically I tried using the flag multiple times when I'm insulted and you have failed repeatedly to remedy the situation and there were even times you basically unflagged the people who have been offensive. I'm left in a situation where I invested a lot of time into writing comments and I have to just take it and I have no mechanism to protect myself because every response I make is an opening for them to subtract my karma. It's emotionally taxing to invest time into writing comments here and emotionally taxing to read insulting criticism and just sit there and take the insult when you've basically been ignoring my flags. The fact that you selectively moderate everything has led me to realize that it's not worth it to invest time to write my opinions on HN. What's outrageous is that I've been here 9 years and I just decided it's not worth it to let this bad actor insult me and sit here while you basically ignore the whole situation. The only reason you responded is because I decided to defend my self and this amped up the situation two fold. Other than that his rude responses would have been completely ignored even if I flagged his posts. >I'm sad to ban someone who's been here for 9 years and made many positive contributions, This is just not true. You aren't even aware of what positive contributions I have made to HN. I've just been here for a while. Why am I even writing this. It's not like you care enough to change.
