<p>> Secrets are unpopular or unconventional truths.<p>Merriam Webster's first definition of a secret is "something <i>kept</i> hidden or unexplained," emphasis mine[1]. Secrets are not usually unknowns, but things purposefully hidden or not shared. I don't see how unpopular or unconventional has anything to do with secrets either. Those features will be dependent on the information in question.<p>He immediately equates something unknown with something purposefully hidden. That seems like paranoia to me, which would explain some of his behavior.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noun" rel="nofollow">https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noun</a></p>

<p>One of the most common mistakes I see managers make is to enact a rule affecting employees <i>without</i> consulting them first, and then afterwards, they ask "How is this? Why doesn't this work? How do we improve it?"<p>Shoot first and ask questions later as a strategy.</p>

<p>Maybe create a "Tell HN" post; "Tell HN: Reviews on Who's Hiring (March 2024)"<p>Unfortunately, I doubt most of the posters are interested in feedback. Hiring is a joke. It's almost entirely Credentialism, i.e. "It's not what you know, it's who you know." It's actually disgusting that this has been the case for so long.<p>It could be a nice way to warn applicants about dodgy or unresponsive posters, but it seems most of the posts are junk.<p>I found this discussing it somewhat: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39290661">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39290661</a><p>Now we got this kind of thing: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39634590">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39634590</a><p>Disturbing.</p>

<p>> In Greek mythology, Cerberus... often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from his body.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus</a></p>
