You're right and I edited the company's name (might be too late but better this way). That said I'm not very happy with the experience of working for TheCompany

You're right and I edited the company's name (might be too late but better this way). That said I'm not very happy with the experience of working for TheCompanyTM anyways so I'm in the process of switching jobs. Thanks for the comment :)

Talking bad about your employer is great for finding a new job. Companies are eager to hire people who bad-talk them.

  He doesn't talk bad about his employer. He talks bad about his employers client.

    Tech is like any other human endeavor. People talk. People change jobs and still like the people in the place they left.

      Yes exactly. Which is why I wouldn't touch anyone who has no criticism for the systems OR culture of a place they've been before. Nowhere is perfect. If people can't be honest about the flaws then they're useless.

        Of course you can hire whomever you want. I would hire someone who has criticism about what he had done in the past and what they have learned. Nobody is perfect. But people with no self reflection blaming others and their employer? No thank you.

As sibling comments indicate, I would advise emailing HN mods to take this post down and remove it from your blog and post it on an anonymous one. Here are the problems you will face: 1) Your current blog has your current employer + client linked to it. 2) Your github has your real name. 3) All of these have been crawled/archived. None of this bodes well for your career in the future. While I think your blog post is a great war story, it's really not a good idea to post it on your main account which can be traced back to your real name and CV because it will come up the next time you apply for a job. Unfortunately, even if it illustrates a great deal of ingenuity and creativity on your part in fixing a mess you made, many folks will take one look at it and be judgmental. You have to manage your reputation online and be careful.
