Lost me when there was nothing technical to discuss. Is hackernews not rantingnews
”On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.”
+1. I just had a look at the text, saw no code or math formulas, and didn't even bother to read the first paragraph. The title itself is not enough to spark my interest I guess.
You lot have a bit to learn about leadership. It has much less to do with code than you would think. A leader of a technical squad needs enough technical knowledge to properly contextualize what their team is dealing with, but that's all. Leadership is about setting up team members such that the whole group succeeds. It's about soft skills and knowing how any action or decision will impact how people feel about the situation at hand. It's about wrangling a team such that they behave cohesively.
This seems fairly reasonable, but it reads as just a set of disparate notes. I feel that if author is asking for money for writing (via paywall) then maybe convert the notes to an essay/article?
is hacker news a link aggregator for paid articles?
No thanks.
