- adventureloop 13y agoYou probably should have read the first line of text on that page. > This story appears in my collection Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present, 2007 craphound.com has been Cory's website for as long as I can remember.
- jabbernotty 13y agoThey just asked a question. There is no need to be snarky, and your suggestion wouldn't even have answered their question.
- bowerbird 13y agoactually, "they" didn't ask any question. and peterkelley wasn't being "snarky" either. he was making a joke, based on the description of the subject-matter of the book. oh, and i'm not being "snarky" either. but it's so very difficult to resist the temptation!, i don't know if i'm gonna be able to do it!, i can feel myself slipping even as i continue typing!... -bowerbird
- jabbernotty 13y agoI didn't reply to peterkelly.
- bowerbird 13y agoi apologize for my misunderstanding. i'm still kinda new at hacker-news, and its threading is still a mystery to me. -bowerbird

- SonicSoul 13y agothis kind of reply makes me cringe.. i had a manager once who would do something similar on rare occasions i asked about something he already stated in the past. he'd re-paste it into the chat window (sometimes twice).. as if fostering proof that i must be retarded for missing a nugget of his eternal wisdom. the only thing that kept me alive was collecting such snippets for eventual book or at least a blog post about how much he sucked at being a manager. this was one of many valuable lessons of what not to do. ever.
- noobface 13y agoBosses like that are as valuable as they are unbearable.
- jamesbritt 13y agoPeople like that help teach the differences among bosses, managers, and leaders.
- C1D 13y agoI would love to see the end result of your book/blog post :P
- peterkelly 13y agoAs SonicSoul commented on the 12th of April, this will be published early next year. Or weren't you paying attention?
- MartinCron 13y agoSmall world, I think I worked for the same guy. My favorite nugget of wisdom from him was a dismissive "connect the dots..." that turned out to imply something that was disastrously incorrect.
- sp332 13y agoHe's still there. He just posted an article there this morning. http://boingboing.net/author/cory_doctorow_1 http://boingboing.net/author/cory_doctorow_1 Why do you ask?
- Clotho 13y agoNo reason. Just a curious reader.
