Hacker News Reader

Curious.. does your employment agreement not put you at very, very significant personal risk for putting information out like this? Throwaway account or not?

I'm inclined to trust HN and it's community to a pretty strong degree. But forgive me for simply not seeing this as anything but controlled information release.

View on HN

You think that DO sent out a shill to pretend to be a throwaway to give hackernews confidence in the DO platform?

My read of this is very different than yours: Naive IC who doesn't have optics into the actual mechanization of the business trusting the CTO fully.

I think this message from the CTO is a partial truth as they often are in orgs that aren't extremely internally transparent.

AKA I don't think the "shilling" is working if that's what they were doing.

Your read is probably more practical than mine, and fits in better with a "don't assume malice" standpoint. I just know that social media (of which HN is begrudgingly a member) can very effectively be swayed.
