That's the question. Philosophizing about what the business needs vs the employee is what is happening here in the HN comments. Context matters and we don't have enough, IMO, to judge. Is this hiring manager for sales looking to f

Wow so Free Trial means £300? Cancelling means paying 50% of an annual plan? Adobe. WTF.

I had a friend from a rough upbringing who called it, "poverty mindset". Eg you have a success in your life? Prepare to be shunned and thought of with disdain by your community.

If that's accurate, then I don't see how they will win in court, with that wrong claim. TECHNICALLY "placement" is a term of art for adtech which (in my experience working near my adtech coworkers and their products) can

I agree to an extent. I agree that for you style is getting in the way of the message. I don't agree that it's clear from the writing that the author is desperate, or wants to impress you. Instead I speculate that the author does

Thank you for the frank sharing of where you are coming from and clarifying so richly your thinking, it's really valuable to me. It shows me again how we all are different and soothes me to a degree, reducing my expectations of myself

I'm not the author. Yeah it is strange. I've been thinking about that too, while writing them. I believe that I'm using this opportunity to understand rejecting criticality, as it relates to intention. To go deeper, I think I

Cute and to reinforce my point I think the intention of the author was not to provide a technical treatise but instead to use whimsy to help story writers access their emotions, by invoking and emotional response in them. It is telling to b

Ahhh, I see where you are coming from. That you have less shame than I thought for yourself when you say "mess". Thanks for clarifying my perception. It looks like instead it's more appropriate to talk about synchronizing wit

I do agree that people think differently these days vs 20 years ago, based on my own personal experience which is not nothing, and I would argue your "based on nothing" is based on your personal experience :-) I like this articles

That reduction in process is ineffective when participating in introspection. This is a blog about marrying creativity and technicality, guiding writers who are creating story content for video games. In this case the author appears to be a

Wow that's harsh. I don't understand why you're saying that, here. Is this a backhanded compliment? Do you think they're being particularly effective because they're trying to evoke crackheads? I don't think th

Do you think they're doing this for a purpose? Why would you think that they chose to write like that? From what I gather reading the footer of the web page they are a trained writer. Like they have potentially a degree in the English

> my thinking is a disorganized mess Ouch! The expectation that your thinking is encyclopedic in its comprehensiveness and structure is a pretty tall standard to live up to in my opinion. I feel empathy for you.

Yeah sort of. I see there's little Grace in the way how anyone directly involved is living. Though everyone is trying to fight against problems .. they're under-resourced to solve them. So the grace of trying is masked by the over
