I've read your comment a few times and I'm baffled. What are you saying, here? I understand that people fake "happiness" and "respect" all the time. Yes. It's true. But... you seem to be suggesting that I am faking it here? Why? My coworkers aren't reading this. They don't know my HN handle. I have never mentioned my employer on HN. What incentive would I have to be false here? If I am misunderstanding you, please explain.

No, I didn’t mean faking it at all. I commented as a light disagreement with: - need to use the word “smart people” or even such a need itself - also possibility of this being a trite - more of an unconscious habit without maybe meaning anything specific about it (again, not faking it) [1] And more importantly it was joke kind of a retort which I think I should have been clear about. Wasn’t a personal attack in any way. Edit: [1] e.g. like the zero day old guy saying in his intro, “I’m super excited to join you all super smart people. It’s gonna be fun”. And as for WFH - god, I just want to go back to office - fully or hybrid!!
