This is obviously a shill post setup to advertise close.io and HN fell right for it.
Why would this post be hosted on the close.io blog and not on a personal blog? It has nothing to do with close.io.
Why would he mention close.io so many times?
Why would he ask about the quality of the "close.io engineers" instead of just his coworker or friend?
Smells fishy to me.
- philfreo 13y agoSo you're saying that http://close.io http://close.io not only has good engineers but also is good at marketing? Maybe you should check it out if you're looking for sales software then :)
- S4M 13y agoI was thinking the same, and expected the answer to be something like "Phil used the API provided by Close.io that invert google picture search and was about to get her name", but it turns out Close.io doesn't do anything related. But yeah, the post clearly emphasizes that they have smart engineers.
- dlss 13y agoYep. Nothing's as good as finding out someone's name to prove you're good at writing webapps... oh wait :p
- photorized 13y agoThat was my immediate reaction, too. Company name is not relevant to any of this.
- kjs3 13y agoI'm with you. I bet these guys though 'titstare' was fracking hysterical, complete with fistbumps. They certainly have the whole "whaaaaaat...we didn't do anything wrong...allow us to rationalize this away" thing down.
- philfreo 13y agoYou're completely wrong.
