I see it's time for the weekly HN pitchfork- and torch-fest. "Resource" is a term with a lot of history in this context, it's used by everyone, and everyone knows what it means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resources http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resources
Why are we so hungry for drama that we chomp at the bit every time some little thing like this comes up? You know what they're saying, you just want to ignore it and make it into a fiasco. Move on.
- megablast 14y agoSure, but it is a little insulting to be thought of as a resource.
- mindcrime 14y agoIt's unnecessary, it's dehumanizing, and I - for one - am not cool with it, history or no.
- nocipher 14y agoThe word-choice is really a minute issue. The more appalling one is that the "entrepreneur" potentially wins half the prize while his "resources" split the other half. This seems grossly unfair given that the entrepreneur doesn't seem to bring any value other than his/her idea to the event.
- milesskorpen 14y ago... the only difference listed between an entrepreneur and resource is that the former has an idea they want to try out. So I'd fully expect the entrepreneur to be a developer/designer/sales person who can contribute in significant ways.
