That's what happens when you believe the l337 hacker hype the script kiddie tells you about themselves.

Pretty par for the course for so called "10x Developers".

Perhaps they were hired because they were “14x” developers.

Amazing, that's what I'm going to refer to them as from now on

Please explain the joke! I don't understand the significance of 14x here!

Possibly a reference to the "14 words". It's white supremacist shit.

No idea how that is White supremacist, no matter what the ADL says. It’s a very innocuous statement expressing the desire for one’s progeny to survive and prosper.

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Jewish children.

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Black children.

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.

Nothing wrong with any of these statements. People are allowed to want their genetic line to live and succeed.

> No idea how that is White supremacist

Because it's a quote by David Lane, and used proudly by neo-Nazis. Please just own the fact that you are Nazi, rather than trying to sanewash your beliefs.

Honestly though, fuck you and your Nazi beliefs. Maybe dang will ban me for saying that, but someone literally sanewashing and defending the 14 Words on Hacker News is insane bullshit. Fuck off.

If that’s bannable, take me with you. I have zero patience for that BS and I don’t want it around where I hang out.

I am quoting it here. It's not my beliefs, just to be clear.

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"

It's 1335 for 'lax'.
