I actually expected this to have already been posted and couldn’t find it - so the submission went through.

Anyway I haven’t ever gone out of my way to hide my employers, and I’m a tech worker in the Bay Area so I’ve worked a multiple companies including Google and Apple.

That said if you’d rather I delete this and wait for someone else to post it I can do that?

Obviously anything I say is my personal view and not reflective of my employers, past or present, and I’m only ever going to submit things that /I/ think would be of interest to HN.

[edited to make sentence that conform to silly societal rules like “must follow basic rules of English grammar”, “must not have absurd amounts of ambiguity”]

You don't have to change the way you post just because someone is on some innuendo-laden crapcomment bender.


I get the innuendo, but it’s a reasonable thing to think about. The problem of course is that plenty of small companies, startups, and I guess blogs exist where someone might be proud of their work and want to share it on HN which I don’t think should be outright banned.

But then you also have the periodic content less and clearly marketing content that ends up on HN front page, which I always find deeply suspicious, so..?


It's reasonable and if you think something is wrong you mail hn@ycombinator.com. But there's no hunting woozles on the forum itself otherwise it would be an infinite woozle hunt, as you know.


Ah, I didn't realise that was considered a reasonable option - I mostly rely on downvote or (rarely)flagging
