It's an url shortener. I implemented 3 of these this year and nobody is calling me a genius.
- chromehearts 1mo agoBecause a genius would have only needed to implement a single one this year
- hackernud3s 1mo ago3 different clients.
- rolymath 1mo agoYeah but a genius wouldn't have left themselves open to a zinger like that.
- hackernud3s 1mo agoI'm not claiming to be a genius. Nothing in this article is evidence of genius. Competence maybe.
- CursedSilicon 1mo agoYou literally complained nobody is calling you one in your first post
- hackernud3s 1mo agoSigh. I was pointing out the difference between when Mamdani does something and when a regular person does the same thing.
- cindyllm 1mo ago[dead]
- dgellow 1mo agoYou’re making the usual HN mistake of focusing on the technical aspects
- hackernud3s 1mo agoI did the non-technical aspects too and yet I'm somehow still just a shmuck doing his job while these guys are geniuses.
- inigyou 1mo agoDid you put a URL like hacker.nudes/nudes on advertising posters?
- SiempreViernes 1mo agoYou literally only said you made a link shortener, and even now give no indication you understand what aspects of the Mamdani communication strategy are being praised.
- hackernud3s 1mo agoThere is nothing to praise here because this is the obvious pattern. Doing anything else would have been incompetence. So yes he gets credit for hiring a competent dev, but to call him a genius for this is venturing into fanboyism / derangement.
- CursedSilicon 1mo agoPerhaps the reason nobody called you a genius is explicitly because you fail to understand the article
- blackoil 1mo agoBro, your handle is hackernud3s.
- jasondigitized 1mo agoThat's not the genius part, its application of said tool to a sharp problem.
- shimman 1mo agoBecause you're a tech worker that sees no issues worker for some of the most evil companies on the planet whereas Mamdani wants you to have childcare + cheaper food + better infrastructure. Not hard to see who is the genius in this equation.
