We do. I literally just had to submit a statement to this effect to the NSF. The GP is spouting uninformed opinions and then patting themselves on the back for being an "outsider".
- rahimnathwani 2y agoThe GP is spouting uninformed opinions and then patting themselves on the back for being an "outsider". Why so hostile? BTW I have nothing to gain from 'spouting uninformed opinions'. My opinion is mostly based on my own interactions with certain academics, and others I've had the opportunity to directly observe. Perhaps the patterns I've seen are not universal. But that doesn't mean that they are not common or, as you seem to suggest, do not exist at all.
- mintplant 2y ago> Why so hostile? This sort of thread pops up again and again on HN. It's frustrating to read comment after comment of people being confidently wrong about your vocation.
- rahimnathwani 2y agoI have an MBA, and spent years as a Product Manager. There is much snark on HN about MBAs and PMs being useless. I read those comments with curiosity to understand what I might learn. Those commenters' experience is not universal, but neither is my own. Some of the comments might be based on virtually no evidence, but that's probably not the majority.
