Hacker News Reader

Just finished it! Been camping since Thursday, so had time to read. I expected it to sort of decline in intensity as I got closer to the end, but it's pretty darn fascinating the whole way. Highly recommended.

I'd support the Careless People effect.

Curious what other books you’d recommend?

I read Careless People and then Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter and they felt like a good pairing. "Character Limit" is also one of the best book titles ever. I highly recommend both.

Musk renamed Twitter. It's still around so that book title needs an update.

X is a derelict brand. I've got little love for Dorsey and Twitter, but the current website is a flaming wreckage where Twitter once stood.

It's usable if you judiciously use lists.

I found mastodon inconsistent in timely information and Bluesky is Dorsey's loonies on crack.

People said that Twitter was usable if you filtered out the cryptocurrency scams with lists.

I think both types of users are in denial about how awful their website is, it's a "frying pan vs fire" situation.
