Those are "assume a spherical cow" levels of bad assumptions. That's why we all assume you've never been there before.

  It's considered rude when someone attempts to speak for the entire reader-base on HN for a topic that obviously attracts a wide range of views. In reality, most large organizations do have at least a semi-competent leadership team most of the time. Unlike what is commonly supposed by junior level staff expressing their frustrations.

    2 people constitutes "we", and there's at least one person other than me that has commented on you lack of awareness. So perhaps quit lecturing others on what is 'rude' when in reality you just don't like people telling you you aren't as insightful as your smug attitude conveys. A state which is regrettably common for junior level staff.

      I don't usually try to be nice with semi-trolling replies but since this doesn't seem like a troll account I will put in an effort. Everyone on HN can read the comment chain and see where you joined in, and who said what... so the claims are difficult to take seriously. Even if you focused on my alleged lack of qualifications to comment it would have not been as self-discrediting. Though I don't get riled up by oblique insults, that might not be the case for others, especially for a topic that might be linked to negative emotions in the reader-base. My sentence on 'junior level staff' wasn't directed towards you, it was a reflection on why it can be difficult to see the grand scheme of things when the environment might restrict that.
