I don’t mean it negatively. My own experience is limited to firms with no commitment to stated goals, vague goals (grow and profit), and leadership that want to dictate outputs vs outcomes. So unfortunately through my eyes the parent read like satire.
- brigandish 4y agoI appreciate that you didn't mean it like that but it does read quite disrespectfully. That can happen sometimes though, unfortunately I know that all too well! I'm also a bit touchy of late as so many comments on HN lack basic respect, it's not people getting into an argument and getting too heated, it's the very first comment people reply with, so perhaps I'm overreacting.
- krageon 4y agoI think it makes reading the chain easier, I had the exact same thought reading the message that was responded to. Knowing that the chain recognises this thought and tries to addresss it helps me absorb the rest of the discourse.
- brigandish 4y agoI think that’s fair enough too. I’m not saying it can’t be said, just that it looked more like a dismissive swipe to me but I acknowledge that mistakes can happen in both the writing and the reading of any comment. I’m happy being wrong about my first impression.
- rubyfan 4y agothanks, I appreciate the feedback on it and commitment to keeping HN and awesome place for discourse.
