- m12k 8d agoThis site proves to me that the better you are at the things that matter most in your niche, the more you can get away with not even trying in other areas.

- altmanaltman 7d agoIt proves it? How? This is more like an exception than the norm and Berkshire is not really something to generalize. Most investment funds of that size do chose to maintain proper websites. This is more like Berkshire branding, look at Warren living in the same house despite having billions (while conviniently ignoring dude owns personal jets), look how we have such a grandpa website, look at our humble branding, we are not like the other greedy bankers and are perfectly moral agents you can "trust" etc.
- Topfi 8d ago> If you have any comments about our WEB page, you can write us at the address shown above. However, due to the limited number of personnel in our corporate office, we are unable to provide a direct response. A profoundly polite way to tell someone to stuff it.
- worldthruword 7d agoI stuff what I have to say into AI's it.
- phoghed 8d agoNah, if this was the OP website you’d be complaining that it tells you nothing and you have no idea what they do or what they are presenting still. Also that it looks like shit on mobile. You’re just glazing the company in this case. You should go with the canonical HN quality website references: McMaster-Carr, Craigslist
- sebmellen 8d agoMcMaster-Carr is unbeaten.
- gumby 8d agoMcMaster’s paper catalogs were phenomenal, with an organization that quickly surfaced the part you wanted and often taught you taxonomy if you were looking for something unusual to you. A true masterpiece and they clearly carried their philosophy to their web design
- vovavili 7d agoNothing will ever top gwern.net
- GaryBluto 7d ago>glazing I’m not familiar with this term. Could you elaborate?
- phoghed 7d agoIt’s when you mix milk sugar and vanilla and put it on a donut
- BrokenBuild 8d agothis is a great example for me to use in meetings. I often see people looking for "good" examples of web design from fortune 500 companies or similar. Gonna use this to throw a wrench in that one soon.
- justinhj 8d agoThe Geico ad gave me a laugh.
- JimmyBiscuit 7d agoIf you click on the message from warren buffet its another Geico endorsment!
