That's a good point.
Perhaps the temptation is to choose philosophies that have the appearance of power. Sticking pins in a voodoo doll of your boss, Mr. Scrooge for example.
Some acquaintances of mine did that at their job once and it worked a charm. The boss was permanently off on sick leave within a month. Maybe there's something to it.
- dang 5y agoCould you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=community%20identity%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
- PerkinWarwick 5y agoI usually go a hundred or so and then change up. Honestly Mr. Dang, I'll probably just bail. HN is 50% non-technical, it's easy to get drawn into that, nothing of real value is said by anyone (including me). Add that in with the downvote system, which is incredibly irritating, and you simply have a Reddit knock-off. It isn't like 'hackers' and 'startups' do much of value anymore given the move in concentration from workstation software and complex devices to moar and moar internet software components and surveillance marketing companies. Seriously, have a wonderful rest of the week, but make an effort to do things of real value.
