If we are into comments anyway, the "comeback of all times"[0] is a winner, a reminder to treat all those pseudonymous or even semi-anonymous handles carefully : )

This is my quad-yearly moment to hang my head in shame.

(and full props to @cperciva for being a good sport!)

Don't feel too bad.

I thought "Just the once, though, huh?" was a fantastic duck-and-cover when getting nuked from orbit. I laughed.

You're not reading enough posts these days. I think this I've seen your exchange with Colin referenced at least once a month for the last year.

Is that the rms responding a bit further down on that thread? Great comment either way:

> News.YC does flame wars a whole lot better than the rest of the internet...

This comment, from a parent to the one you have bookmarked, is something every startup should think about if they get traction and start to grow.

> you need to re-evaluate whether you are actually building a company 'culture', or just some random agglomeration of the personality traits of the company's earliest employees.

Am I stupid if I don't understand that post?

It's riffing on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cISYzA36-ZY&t=1m24s

(I "got" what the post was about but took a minute to dig up the actual scene, I didn't know what the item was in the movie)

Wow, that video also has one of the best comments I've seen:

> Slime green, Comic Sans, all caps. Oh my god, it even has clip-art.

Thank you for elaborating, makes sense now :D

Just press "parent" link a number of time and here it is with context:

No, there's zero context.

cperciva and dhouston were working on similar stuff at this time, they cross paths in the comments of the same thread:
