This kind of a comment where middle and senior management will be rendered useless (and therefore feel threatened) by communication-competent engineers is both prevalent on HN and absurdly wrong from a business organization perspective. Joel Spolsky’s writing on this subject should be mandatory reading before people spout nonsense.
If this is a website supposedly for startups, the audience missed that mark by a wide margin.
As far as accounts go you really don’t have a choice on HN, because eventually you’ll get flagged enough to get throttled/suspended and eventually banned for being too controversial, not following groupthink, etc. Between Theranos and pandemic we’ve got a good corpus of what that looks like, and I don’t have 3-4 years to get my commentary vindicated by the same paid news actors that are causing this shit to begin with.
No offense to the mods, but community “guidelines” translates into skewed application.
As for Douglas Murray, the reviews for his books aged like fine wine.
As I said, use a burner, post and move on. Let the haters do their thing.
