- bryanrasmussen 1y agoSurely many of the kinds of companies this guy is applying to think the same?
- N_Lens 1y agoAs do many employers.
- kelnos 1y agoI expect many tech employers also think too much of HN, which is exactly the point being made here.
- steveklabnik 1y agoPeople think too much of it but also, somehow, far too little at the same time.
- mattgreenrocks 1y agoAgree. Tough crowd overall. And tougher comment section.
- EliRivers 1y agoTruth. There's a reason that people say to never read the comments section of HN or YouTube.
