Is the HP Way still relevant today?

I read the blogpost and I was wondering what I was missing. Then I looked to the left of the page, and saw it was categorized as 'Growth'. So this is like a little advertisement for Brandwatch?

I'm sorry if I got it all wrong, James.

Two sections before 'The HP Way' in an engineering blog.

Section 1 - Linting (sounds like engineering, interested, continue)...

Section 2 - Management (3 paragraphs ending with maligning the President's management style, not interested, tired of it, 41.7% chance of annoying your audience) https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

Section 3++ - Didn't read.

And that's OK. I don't expect everyone to like what I write. We're all different. There's an audience outside of America too. I don't live there.

It was a reflection inspired by the day we had together as a company. I wouldn't say it's an advert, but I do like working there.

Out of curiousity, why would that category make you think it is an advertisement?

I currently bucket my posts into "management 101" informational articles and then everything else currently lands under "growth". I could probably do with making some more categories now there are a whole bunch of articles on the site.

Then I was wrong.

Your blog post reminded me of a style of writing. Reciting something with the intent to make it look cool, then show how it applies to your company. The 'Growth' category made me wonder if you were doing that. But I see, it's a pleasant reflection.

No problem - I appreciate you pointing it out, as it can help me improve my writing style (and categorization of posts!)
