This whole thread makes me think of Alan Cooper, and how he bashes developers in The Inmates Are Running the Asylum basically as people out of touch with the rest of humanity in that we got used to rudimentary tools and our love for them an

Ive read other post basically making the same claim, Google is happy to create, fund, and hire for projects just to capture/retain talent and remove it from the hiring pool. Is that HN folks reading too much between lines or is it a th
