You didn't read his top-level comment about where he said he started a company, so it's actually you who aren't arguing in good faith.

Some people are afraid to question authority. You have to sugercoat the message a few times before they can stomach the complexities of social hierarchies.

Do you have sources for those claims? I don't have any knowledge here; just cursory googling indicates the issue was a lot more complex than UAW being the bad guy.

Thanks for posting the actual history. This article is a ramble. The introduction is a mess of concepts and irrelevant links, the background is rushed and weakly researched, and the lyrics they fabricated are so removed from the original th

I'm no fan of Republicans, but he's trying too hard to be funny. It'd be less boring to read if he just spoke about the font choices, and saved the political satire for Reddit.

I’ve been at the flip side where a few google searches would have contradicted much of the fun complexity proposed by the developers of the system. Or the PMs “talked to the users”, didn’t write anything down, and then demanded features tha

The rush is revealing. A rush to proclaim their friends are good people, a rush to run away from their friends, a rush to point fingers at people who are not their friends. Finally, rushing into Reddit and HN to damage control over the rush

You’ve been flagged but your point is largely correct. There is a big difference between Valve in listing them, and Nintendo sending them a DMCA. The dolphin developers ignored that difference and the former Dolphin developer called them ou

Wait, when did libsql become popular? As I recall, the libsql startup burned some goodwill when they tried to publicly shame SQLite, after forking SQLite and barely changing its code[1]. Looking at the libsql repo today, it looks like the c

Agreed. The author writes mostly about celebrity gossip, and this article is no different. I flagged it.

FWIW, I think resistance, as hinted at in Disciplined Minds, is a weak basis for an identity. A "truth to power" speaker is only good for certain kinds of truths and certain kinds of power. Its a role that doesn't mean much o

This is a cogent analysis. To go further: I've noticed that rich, white tech professionals gravitate to social causes that pay lip service to economic equality, but only demand action on race. The mis-priorization and pretense you spea

They're not the same, but speaking as someone who's been both cities, there are some interesting similarities . Both endemic corruption by a single party which uses social issues as a ploy to forestall reform. Baltimore is a poor

Your views were commonplace 3 years ago. Now, the idea of paying for free OSS development with expensive engineer time, at an unprofitable company, in the middle of a tech-recession, is indefensible. I would be careful not to express luxuri

The edit history / indicator doesn't show up on mobile, but I confirmed it shows up on Desktop; leerob hijacked the question and replaced it with PR. Deceit is indeed the right word to describe Vercel's behavior.

You're in the clear. Like another commenter in the same thread mentioned, you've responded in good faith to a semi-paranoid question. In my uncharitable view, the GP seems to both have a bias for Sam and a weird anxiety over moral

Your story apparently hits too close to home for some folks. Many of us worked for companies that gave our swag and spouted kool-aid. Some of us even drunk it and owned it. I personally know more than a few engineers who can't imagine
