Their comments matter, but they aren't well informed. Hacker news is full of bright ambitious folks who think they are very smart, or they can change the world, or they can make a lot of money. It's all about their personal impact. HN celebrates individual contribution. Which is fine and good. That said, I'd argue that many folks here would benefit from spending time on how to be better leaders, or gasp, managers and executives. Most people, by definition, aren't going to be 10x or 100x engineers. But a good manager, supervisor, executive will make everyone around them better.
