“For the love of God, can we not simply decline, on Hacker News, to take seriously a man who arbitrarily specifies that equity training is 'Maoist'?”
It’s exaggeration, but that doesn’t mean he should be written off.
The real problem is there’s little detail or context.
- escape_goat 4y agoIt's not an 'exaggeration' so much as an explicit guarantee that he does not know enough about Maoism or equity training to have an interesting opinion about either one of them, and to be honest I found nothing particularly insightful in any of the rest of the largely incoherent article's quotes. We are in "grad students chide old man for yelling at cloud" territory here. The real problem is that this is simply an excuse for people to air their own grievances. It is news of literally no interest to anyone otherwise.
