Hacker News Reader

jjallen was downvoted, but I thought exactly the same thing. I was full of righteous indignation, which was promptly defused by the actual article.

I'm very happy to be mistaken!

Funny, that interpretation didn't even cross my mind.

I guess there's a lesson in that (don't assume your way of reading something is the "right" way).

Agreed, I had the same mistaken impression.

I had the same reaction; "retreat" is ambiguous without context.

I thought it meant that their entire company is taking a retreat to work on an OSS project.

This version is cool too though.

I read it is as: Stripe is organising a retreat for its developers where they can work on Open Source—imagining that it would give them the time to contribute (more) to the Open Source software they already use at Stripe.

Me too. That was a shock.

I had the same reaction as well.
