> they're uniformly boring in every conceivable way This is such concise and brutally accurate way to sum it up, I salute you for this brilliant description. I could not agree more, such a spot-on assertion!

What I'm trying to get for an answer is straight percentages, because there's always this latent hate towards founders or bosses so I'm trying to see what would be fair in the scenario I presented. The "boss bad, worker

That's what I'm asking. What does the "scaling" guy get? What's the fair distribution of wealth? I'm not placing any value on "scaling", I'm asking what it should be valued at. > Who wrote the

What if I'm a founder who's also a developer, I have the idea, customer base and I've done ~80% of the code of the product but I need help with deploying and scaling the product. How much of the profit do I share with the emp

What happens when you feed someone who grows up to be "evil" and creates a corporation like Facebook? It's anecdotal, I'm agreeing with your last point - humanity is brutish, it's easier to exit the Matrix and to se

> Why is HN always so damn against developers facing their hubris, or mistakes, or consequences for their actions? Because it's clear what will happen. Software he supports will die off. And because we can empathize.

I love it how you pretend to be helpful only to turn out spiteful. Are you even aware of what we're discussing here or are you just trying to take out frustration online?

My bad, then the dog kicker gets to live in the economy of 2022. using the reimbursements from 1995. Still a lovely display of empathy and entitlement from people who blindly refuse to acknowledge that the person who created mIRC is human.

> You don't get to unilaterally revoke a contract just because it turned out to be unprofitable or unfavorable to you. What do you suggest, or are you even suggesting anything?

That sounds like quitting before even trying. If I were you, I'd first exhaust every possible option I have at my disposal to become better before calling it quits. You might have ADHD but you can also adjust to it and work around it.

You can't "create" 10x engineer. You either have work ethic or you don't. If you have the work ethic, if you're disciplined, if you genuinely enjoy programming and the feature/software you work on - then you ha

Agreed. The whole article could have been condensed to a paragraph.

Insulting? It's true. It's not an insult. You're using mental gymnastics right now to make your point. 3500 people employed in a company that has no oversight of what they do, which is capable of getting huge investment and w

I find it unbelievable how apparently smart people are disconnected from context. If you genuinely believe he did that to measure performance then I've nothing to tell you. I understood that as an exercise to prove that Twitter employs

I don't really care about Twitter as whole, it's a bad company from any aspect. It was unprofitable before Musk and it would go bankrupt. I don't really care what he'll do with it, if he'll delete it in the end or n

Yes. Twitter is unprofitable. People working there come off as lazy and entitled. They openly attack Elon, not contributing anything tangible except "rich man evil, worker good". Previous management wasted investor's money. C

At best, you skimmed it and then posted a useless reply that you couldn't even justify. Zero contribution to anything, but hey - I gave you a bit of that attention that you used in a negative way. You didn't understand a thing.

This sort of topic does not interest me, but I clicked, and to my surprise I gulped the article. This is one of the most interesting posts I've read on HN, ever. Awesome writeup, I love the POV of a non-expert in the field!

by zmxz 4y ago
The same 4m people didn't post a comment such as yours, without reading the text first. Your logic is nonexistent, just like the point you're making. I believe you're a joy to talk to in real life. Thanks for the polite excha

I am making assumptions, but whether I'm patronizing is just mental gymnastics from your side. You posted an opinion that you don't want to justify. There's really no other action to take except what I wrote.

by zmxz 4y ago
This is awesome, thank you for that!

by zmxz 4y ago
Would you say then that it's safe to assume you didn't read the text and you merely reacted to what you thought was written?
115.
by zmxz 4y ago
Could you highlight in detail how responsibility wasn't taken in your opinion and which parts of the text we've all read highlights that?

You're reading it wrong . If you can do the work, awesome, no one cares how you feel about it. But that's the keyword: *IF* you can. People who went into IT for the love of it are diligent by default (from my personal experience)

Why do you think it's bullshit and why do you think it's humiliation? Aren't all employees, in all companies on this planet, submitting to some form of dominance in exchange for money?

I don't see the purpose of this condescending comment, you could have explained why and provide knowledge for the person posting the initial statement.

What does it say about people in charge and what does it say about employees? Asking without implying anything.
