That was 24 years ago. Half the people commenting on this board aren't even that old. How many of the shareholders on the boards or executives at the helms of those companies do you think are still there?

Just downvote and flag and move on. "Who hurt you" just encourages bad actors to behave worse (and isn't particularly good for itself). Repeatedly flag-killing their comments tends to teach a better lesson about what conduct

I'm going through and flagging the guideline-breaking comments (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49348639 ) - I'd encourage you to do that, too, to help preserve the quality of HN.

You're welcome! There's nothing quite like finding the phrase that labels a concept you've been aware of for a long time.

Use-mention distinction is lost on a lot of people. It's a useful test for whether someone is reacting to a word (e.g. "damn") out of pure emotion and conditioning, or whether they're acting rationally.

I don't understand. Are you saying that you think that writing Common Lisp is akin to using a debugger in other programming languages?

You're doing great. Don't let insanely low-effort (negative-effort, as in making others dumber rather than having no effect?) comments like from the above throwaway affect your actions.
