Hacker News Reader

The definitive hacker news mindset takedown. A cold bucket of water on silicon valley. I miss it so much, mostly because it was so insightful.

Alas, no one will know because... you didn't pilotfish-post on firstpost comment.

I was scrolling for this. I always forget the URL and when I find it I'm saddened to find no updates :\

When telling people about HN, I'd emphasize first reading the guidelines, and not treating it like other social media. Then I'd say, when some comment thread goes intolerable, they can get relief by reading some n-gate. (Though the content of the last post precluded mentioning it at the company where I was working.)

I hope the n-gate person is well, and that they didn't blow a gasket, taking on the burdens of too many HNers.
