Summarizing, it looks like the "dark patterns" are:
1) work on stuff that's important to the company, but build in public (inside the company)
2) get to know your team
3) work on stuff that's closer to the customer, and #4 cynical comments.
Honestly, most of the YC and PG writings will give you more examples of how to do this stuff. And to the extent that you work in a place that gets stuff done, you will find all of these behaviors serve you well.
- connelldave 6y agoThis was my takeaway. Being engaged, empathetic and kind isn't a "dark pattern", but it's also not something that can be intellectually dismantled and practiced like leetcode. It's interesting seeing how often other humans are considered oppositional problems and "the solution is self-employment"!
