Agree with all points made. Especially with the first point (engineer hiring tends to be one dimensional) as well as the “your company is who you hire” point - and even the google example given for that point. Google is great at software. No one writes better software than google hands down, but what you/they learn is that it’s not always about how good you code (else GCP would be the #1 cloud platform). Great write up

I think you’re being downvoted because of that very first sentence (no matter how much I hate the guy, laying the blame 100% on his frail shoulders seems a bit hyperbolic).

But I don’t see what’s downvotable (if not agreeable) about the rest of what was said

As a regular of WSB, this article is just absolutely absurd. Which I guess is the regular for Bloomberg these days (seemingly the Buzzfeed of business news it appears). All you'll find on WSB is a bunch of homophobic bored desk workers. The idea that subreddit of only a few thousand guys (mostly) with an extra $500 to blow on meme stocks can move a stock in _any_ significant way is laughable.

+1 for the dope, minimalist design. +2 for the no shenanigans approach. Love it

Same here. It's incredibly striking to sort of see the pieces laid out in front of you, really _feel_ that they put together facts, but not have the glue you need to objectively/factually put them all together.

To me it feels like the "Israeli operative" scenario seems pretty legit.

Not even from a community management standpoint, but more so just from a UX standpoint. As a HN reader, I don't just wanna read the top 5 or so parents (which is all I can read without scrolling for 2 mins, _especially_ on mobile). I want to read all the parents, and have the option to go into the thread should I so chose. Just me though

I’ve been suggesting the comment collapse idea for a while? Where can we put up a PR for this? Collapsing comments for HN’s comment scale is damn near required at this point.

As a huge basketball fan I think this is great. As a US citizen roughly familiar with the NBA and how they come after platforms that use their content in ways that they don’t condone (e.g., /r/nbastreams, RIP), I don’t see this lasting very long.

Finally a client that mixes async support and a “requests-compatible” API (for those times you don’t want to go as low as say an aiohttp or the like).

Looking forward to trying it out

Edit: maybe the homepage can include a very simple async example as well?

Product Management. On some level, _everyone_ at the company is involved with product. It's at the intersection of virtually every department (engineering, sales, design, research, etc), but is incredibly demanding :)

From a slightly more nerdy perspective:

Because these credit card companies have thousands of _their_ machines, in _their_ locations, running _their_ software, to meet _their_ standards.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is run god knows where, for god knows who (as rightfully intended of course), on god knows what software.

Sadly speed is just naturally part of the tradeoff in this scenario.
