Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

the poster themselves would have to answer but generally I find the answer to be no

a rather particular form of inductive reasoning. not quite induncetive, but close

induncetive

I would argue that it is exactly in-dunce-itive reasoning

This is uncessarily mean.

Stop dickriding the growth mindset, and we'll stop being so mean about it.

I'm not. I think being critical of his presentation of the controversy is not an endorsement of the growth mindset. And I do not condone the implementation of it by Microsoft by middle managers who would deploy it to partake in petty politicing

Being so aggressively mid will frequently get you the mean.

Edit: Before you pedantically argue that the median != mean, I'd suggest that your posts plainly fall on the normal curve because they are all typically boring, standard deviations.

it’s fucking amazing the volume of these guys who think we have a rule about tone (we don’t, we never will, spaces with rules like that end up using them against justifiably angry marginalized people) because it’s what they’re used to using as a weapon in the politics sections of reddit and lemmy, but don’t bother to see what our only written rule is (because they don’t fucking read, there’s no room for that when your whole personality is cosplaying as the smart adult in the room)

I'm not sure what your edit means. Personally, I don't think of mine response as mid. I think there's valid cricism of the article. The original article would have been a more interest read, in my opinion, if they had set up a framework that included my critiques it would have been a more insightful read.
