How many deep insights can you really gain on an entire industry by working in it for 2 years? And starting off in a separate industry which just happens to be located within the other?

I agree that bluntness is often mishandled, but the sort of language in this article just reads as wildly disingenuous. Obfuscating your actual point (and visceral, human feelings/opinions/experience!) to hopefully confuse your subject into compliance. Makes me think of that brain-dead article a few years back about how you should dodge offering support in close personal relationships. “I don’t have capacity,” “I’m not paid to perform emotional labour” etc. Sad! Promote humanity!

I don’t disagree with everything he’s saying but it’s odd seeing the responses this is getting when it sounds extremely rehearsed.

I think it’s fair to comment on the audio. Great interview but I found it really difficult to follow along due to the sound quality. To the host with the big Shure mic in the middle of their shot: point it at your mouth!

It’s funny how frequently people try to reinvent the wheel re: how this site is laid out. It’s the best part about it!

I’m also the friend who brings up Cinemania once a month for no reason. Not literally the same one but I used to love it. Now, I just sit peering between ads at 2-3 lines of Fast Company articles while trying to work out how to close the autoplay video ad…

Would love to see this in the style of that “brutalist” hn from a few weeks ago so I can immediately immolate from acute second-hand embarrassment.

Mostly nice but looks like their setup needs a tweak on what counts as ‘bullshit’:
