Did you read the article?

> feeling people discussing politics are trying to solve any problems

it's explicitly about how you need to work in political ways to solve problems at work. It's not about country-wide politics or something.

I actually was thinking specifically about the office politics at one of my previous employers when I wrote that comment.

Yes it's also applicable to the other kind of politics. The two are entirely too similar imo.

All the more reason to steer clear if you ask me.

FWIW, the HN guidelines[1] specifically ask that we not do that.

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".

We can go by the guidelines or we can look at reality. It’s blindingly obvious that he in fact did not read the article and based everything he said on the title
