That is just annoying. Nor do I think it’s a convincing point coming from someone who suggests they aren’t new here.
imo people new to a community could slow their roll esp in a debate.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoAlright; I've been on HN for 5 years. Since we're all friends who know each other so well, how about you tell me about myself? I'm reasonably active and I have an extremely recognizable username, so you should of course remember me quite well.

I think it's circumstantial. For instance, I don't really think it's necessary for the CTO to have said, "disclaimer: CF employee/CTO/whatever" in this thread. But in this thread[1] from yesterday, I think it would've been helpful. [1]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32912075#32912276 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32912075#32912276
