Actually, despite the drama queening, I upmodded both posts (perhaps thereby obliterating my vote weighting) because they reflect an interesting pattern of hacker psychology that I've been thinking about lately. Once said thoughts are in a bit more of a coherent state I'll make a post about it.
- chaostheory 19y agoare you talking about the two yc posters or the guy that was "poached"? I could be wrong but doesn't seem like either of the yc posters were hackers or into programming
- dfranke 19y agoThe two YC posters. I don't know if they're hackers per se, but the fact that they hang out here makes them good enough as data points.
- chaostheory 19y ago(someone correct me if i'm wrong) so you're going to write about hacker psychology using two people that aren't hackers? Based on the 1st post, i'm pretty sure that neither of them are
- dfranke 19y ago(sorry, I think you posted that while I was in the middle of editing the comment you were replying to)
- chaostheory 19y agoit's cool =) here are reasons why I don't feel either of the posters are hackers: 1) this probably wouldn't be an issue if either of them were b/c they can still do what they feel are the crucial parts of the project and recruit on the side... the 1st post seemed desperate... 2) the "poached" person probably would not have been "poached" if his project was already underway with mutual contributions to the project by everyone in the team. in my experience 1 reason a programmer leaves his team (whether it's right or wrong) is b/c he feels that he's doing all the work
