Whoa. Wait, thinking critically and questioning things amounts to "directionless rage" and "lashing out"?
I find both your dismissiveness and judgmental nature very alarming. Since when is HN a place for that?
I am many things but angry is not one of them. There wasn't anything even remotely uncivil in my comment.
I enjoy HN and an generally make a point to be civil and polite.
There's a great deal of irony in the presumptuousness and arrogance of your own comment. But thank you for validating my original suspicion.
Sounds like you just don't like Steve Yegge.. regardless of your opinion of him, its certainly not irrelevant to point to his post. Go away.
Really? Are you that immature?
There is zero connection between the nature of this story and an engineers blog post about changing jobs. That was the nature of my question. I don't care about Steve Yegge one way or the other.
Amusingly your response bolsters my observation of the cultish mentality around Steve Yegge and how questioning that is for some reason not tolerated.
I don't read the comment above is a reflection of Steve Yegge's importance in general, just as a useful piece of information linking this news to something HN previously thought was important (his move to Grab).
