Sounds like I lost the asshole measuring contest :)
- imwillofficial 5y agoHN has a vast amount of random talent. If you’re going to speak with authority, you’d better know you’re right! And if somebody comes in and upgrades your knowledge, be cool about it. They just did you a favor.
- IgorPartola 5y agoThank you so much and I am so sorry for what I did. I didn’t realize there were domain experts on HN. That’s amazing and I can’t believe I spoke on this subject without first checking if I was the smartest person in the room. What you added to the discussion is invaluable. You are a saint.
