That's incredibly impolite but I don't really care. In the future there might be reasons people don't directly name call something that should be a huge hint for you to not do it yourself to them. You aren't swooping in like a white knight answering some searing question, you're potentially throwing someone under the bus, CTO guy. You should know better.

You literally added it after I posted my own response. I hope you're proud answering the $10mil question when I clearly wasn't going to.

Why are you afraid to name companies?

You literally just read my previous comment and went "hmm, lets ask him to expound?" My god, some people.

But you didn’t really say anything besides it being ‘impolite’.. which is rarely the best reason to not do something

I don't know where your sense of entitlement is coming from, but first off, I don't owe you any information whatsoever. Not to mention the name of the company is absolutely irrelevant to the conversation we were having before you involved yourself literally only asking this question. I hoped, apparently wrongly, that someone could infer from me not bringing the name up myself that maybe I don't want to be associated with said place. I owe you nothing, welcome to hn.

People have their reasons for disclosing or not disclosing things. You aren't entitled to know why, by any means. You're a 32point 2 month old HN account who has literally nothing personal listed about yourself, whilst people like me do have personal things listed. Move off, bud. I owe you absolutely nothing and I have my reasons for whatever I say. And you are not entitled to a how, why or anything else about my reasoning.

Yes looking at someone's profile before replying is sure to get them on your side, keep it up!

I didn't for one second ask for you you be on my side so fuck right off

You sure showed me.

You also broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread. Please don't get sucked into tit-for-tat flamewars, regardless of how bad some other comments are or you feel they are. That's also not what this site is for.

Whoa - you've broken the site guidelines badly and repeatedly in this thread. We ban accounts that do that, and your posts have been well over the bannable line.

I'm not going to ban you because fortunately it doesn't look like you've made a habit of this in the past. That's good—but please go back to posting substantive, respectful things and don't veer in this direction again. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

you seem pretty mad about people naming companies, this isn't airing dirty laundry these are things they did in the public square.

Do you feel your hands are dirty or something?

This is a weird response, it's not like it's not public information, there's nothing "impolite" about it.

lol Darkmode boy thinks I give a singular shit about his opinion of my response

That'll show 'em.

Bro, satvik. I'm happy to hear your responses and learn from you but you're literally just attacking me at this point. It's absolutely hilarious. You think you're going to take me down or something weird. I'm trying so hard to take this seriously because you think you're going to post a tweet and get me nuked from society.

I'm looking at your previous posts and trying to find things that aren't "zero to hero" type javascript messages.

There's a gem 4 months ago that is "Why would you be hiring? Writing a backend is really not that hard if you already know the front end.." " and anyway it's good to be able able to do both sides" ..

Are you trying to learn, prove yourself, or what? What's the end goal here? Most of us write code to pay rent and buy cars. What are you trying to do?

Buddy, HostGator employee, I honestly have no idea what you're even talking about, regarding trawling through posts I've made and trying to find "gems", whatever that means. Seems you get easily aggressive towards anyone that challenges your comments, in this thread and others, telling people to "fuck off", that "literally nobody asked for their opinion" (on a public forum) and trying to find some gotcha in their posts, as if that means anything. All I said to you was that your response was weird and you immediately start popping off about being asked for an opinion, on a public forum. I don't care about you, much less "take you down," lol. You're the one who immediately started spouting personal insults after people calmly commented, so if you can't handle people commenting, get some anger management classes and perhaps step off, king.

LOL this is absolute gold.

You are so out of your element and just absolutely lost. I'm obviously not a HG employee. You challenged my comment? You weren't even part of the conversation. Your challenge was not understanding a modicum of politeness when someone is referring to an old business they worked for and might not want to be associated with so they give vague references that make it blatantly clear they don't want bring it up? This is easy in your stead because you have literally worked for no one that anyone cares about or has any interest in whatsoever.

If you were on hn throwing some spicy tea out for people to read, if you had EVER worked for anywhere that actually MADE spicy tea- you'd get my drift.

"This is a weird response, it's not like it's not public information, there's nothing "impolite" about it."

This is literally one of the most ignorant responses I've ever, ever seen on HN. Nothing I said was public information. and I clearly didn't want to expound. Take the fucking hint.

Anyway, take it easy bud.

Thanks
