Re:Ask HN: Do we really need performance feedback? on Monday July 25, 2016 @08:20AM (#12158118)

Where "grow" means "behave like the manager thinks is beneficial for the company".

Probably better than "Thanks for the Feedback" by Sheila Heen.

This is an non-exhaustive list of technologies that the article mentions:

"Terraform, Schemaless, Riak, Cassandra, Hadoop, Redis, Twemproxy, Celery, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Docker, Mesos, Aurora, HAProxy, Hyperbahn, Ringpop, TChannel, Nginx, Thrift, Protobuf, Phabricator, OpenGrok, Packer, Vagrant, Boto, Unison, Jenkins, Clusto, Puppet, Grafana, Storm, Spark, React, SVG, Canvas 2D, Gufaru, DropWizard"

How are you going to discuss all that in a substantive manner? All anyone can do in the limited time frame of a HN discussion is draw parallels to previous job experiences or previous user experiences.

My own experiences are more aligned with the sentiment expressed in the "dismissal" comment.
