There are no doubt lots of Uber employees that post here. This is an appropriate forum to ask.
And why do you think they could answer you with any details without going through comms?
because this is the Internet and anyone can make an anonymous account via VPN, if someone were so inclined.
Yes and I would break my NDA to answer a random question on HN for what personal gain?
It's a ridiculously innocuous question. If I were worried about blowback, I'd question working for Uber at all.
TBH I don’t trust HN with my data. They have weird account policies, and I’d not be surprised if they felt like witch-hunting someone down they would…especially in the interest of ycomb alumni
I'm replying to my own comment here since it was so severely downvoted. OP was musing about a bunch of questions that didn't seem useful to the discussion. Who was he asking? And if you're going to say an Uber staff member, why doesn't his comment indicate that? It just didn't seem to add to the discussion at all.
OP here... @s3p: FWIW, I didn't take issue with your comment. Surprised it was down voted. I do find that often people to reply to such comments though with something like "Uber team member here..." so it didn't seem ridiculous, but your suggestion seemed authentic and fair to me.
