Crisis, combined with the pseudo-anonymity of the internet has a tendency to encourage people to show who they really are – and amplify their worst instincts. Unfortunately this leads to the conclusion that many (if not most) of those commenting online are full of shit.
- podviaznikov 4y agothis makes sense. I didn't think about why such comments are here. Just wanted to share that reading them on Friday evening was heartbreaking. and all of the questions popped up in my head: why am I on this site for so many years? who are these people? did I work with the same people in all the tech companies over the years? why do they say those things? why don't they ask questions but make statements?
- hrbf 4y agoThose are very good questions I don’t have an immediate answer for. As with many things regarding human beings, it’s complicated. I don’t believe the best place to discuss them is a flagged submission on HN. If you feel like talking (well, writing) this through a bit more, my email address is in my profile.
