I really dislike these "nothing to hide" takes.

It's not just "something to hide". You're giving a tiny project complete read/write access to your twitter. What if the creator abandons it and sells it to a malicious owner? What if it gets hacked? What if someone who's out to get you finds this as an attack surface?

The API separates these permissions for a reason.

This is a wall of text that reads like GPT-3 and the actual site is 3 blog posts chock full of obvious SEO-only content, but somehow this lands on the front page?
Why not?

You do realize this is a forum spawned from a STARTUP INCUBATOR right?

Re:Ask HN: How to Handle a New Manager? on Wednesday June 24, 2020 @01:44PM (#23631278)
OP hasn't said anything about the cause of the manager transition. For all we know, it could be just that their old manager left for a better opportunity, and they back-filled the role.

My advice - help the manager as much as possible while you evaluate them. It'll probably be fine, and you'll learn to work with them -- they may even make the team better. If not, start looking.
