As someone who has worked in consulting on the Enterprise side for 25 years, the HN attitudes towards IBM, SAP, Oracle, and even SaaS companies like SF/SNOW/Adobe is baffling. Corporate America would literally cease to function if these companies disappeared one night, but would hardly bat an eye over the disappearance of Facebook, Apple, or even Google.
- jimbo9991 4y agoHacker news has always been an outgrowth of the startup world, and has never had much respect for "serious business". I guess because of the slow pace and paper pushing, which is a valid complaint about working at these kinds of organizations. It's something you eventually come to understand, but as a young person fresh from a CS program I understand how it can feel. This is likely to become less extreme over time as our experiment with low to negative interest rate policy comes to a close.
- alephnerd 4y agoEven the startup conversations on here are completely detached from reality to be honest. There's a lack of understanding among commentators about how VC works, Category Creation, Pricing Strategy, GTM, Sales, etc. Most YC startup founders have their own private board at this point that they discuss stuff on now. HN has devolved into burned out Gen X or elder Millenial FAANG engineers bitching about their gilded cage existence.
