If you don’t assess people based on their actions… then how do you assess them?
From my experience actions are easily worth thousands of times more than any other criteria.
- sublinear 5mo agoAttaboy you're on the right track! We're almost in agreement. I'm saying that you cannot accurately assess people at all! All you can do is guess. But when we assess a machine, we do know everything about it based on its actions.
- MichaelZuo 5mo agoThis comment doesnt make sense. How is it relevant to my question, whether you think someone else agrees with you… or not? I just don’t see a reason for anyone to give you higher credibility than other HN users.
- Timwi 5mo ago> But when we assess a machine, we do know everything about it based on its actions. This is obviously false. Every developer has had hour-long debugging sessions to track down a mysterious behavior. Sometimes entire teams are stumped by a technical glitch. Until the bug is found, nobody knows everything about the machine.
- sublinear 5mo agoYet the bug has a chance of eventually being discovered. If someone is determined to find it, they certainly will. You are not thinking clearly here.
