Probably a bit of both.

The overuse of "genuine" and "genuinely" in some sections screams LLM text to me.

And, of course, I decided to see what happened if I fired up firefox in webtop and loaded webtop in it. Oops.

Maybe in the US. For the rest of the world, ISO27001 is arguably better known.

New comment by mopoke in "LinkedIn called me a white supremacist because I happen to share a name with one"

As an aside, is it too early for my brain or is the "representing your organization" option contradictory?

"Choose if we can show your profile information on your employer's pages" shows "Yes" but the text below "Hide my picture and profile information from showing up in this section of a job detail page?" says "Yes". So is it showing or hiding that?

New comment by mopoke in "Ask HN: How to Be a Good Technical Lead?"

mopoke — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 21:15:08 +0000

In my experience, a good technical lead won't give commandments from on high. A good technical lead will consult and facilitate a discussion and mediate conflict. They will also be directive when the time is right, but only after having listened and weighed the arguments. They will also be able to explain the rationale behind those decisions.

I get asked this a fair bit so I started to collect a few of my favourite links together in a blog post: http://www.andykelk.net/leadership/the-big-list-of-managemen...

Specifically to new tech lead roles, I'd recommend "Peopleware" and "Behind Closed Doors"

And a couple of articles specific to your situation: http://firstround.com/review/this-90-day-plan-turns-engineer... and https://blog.stackexchange.com/2015/08/developer-turned-mana...
