maybe they've updated, but the fourth paragraph is currently "we announce today Igor has chosen to step back..."
which would seem to imply "not dead". but given the tone of the first three paragraphs i think even that is a bit too late in the post to clarify.
- CRConrad 5y agoYeah, but that's like the fourth paragraph. I know hardly any Russian, only about enough to recognise "da svidanja" as "goodbye", so I'm not sure "in what language" I digested the headline (=link here on HN) -- probably a bit of all of my eclectic blend of European ones... But to me it certainly felt fifty-fifty whether it was a "changed jobs" or a "dearly departed" post. Checking which it was probably constituted my main reason for clicking through.
- buybackoff 5y agoI "scanned" the article twice, so could have missed. First time I did quit, because HN comments are often more clear and useful instead of "reading" every noise they publish out there. And I did not find what I was looking for. The second time I scanned again after I posted, just to find the paragraph if it was there at all. Even if it was in the 4th originally, it's still far too off. It should have been in the first sentence of the first paragraph.
