“As I often repeat,” no one knows who you are. already you can tell this was not written by an intelligent person “Yet most empirical studies fail to find any connection between extraversion and career success.“ right off the bat, obviously the most “successful” people don’t have careers at software companies. this sounds like those conversations people have like “are we living in a simulation” that would only make sense if you were unfamiliar with the subject matter. obviously the most powerful people in the world are the types of people who can form relationships with other powerful people. it seems like the premise of this article was to make nerds who make six figures feel better about themselves compared to the popular kids they went to high school with. |

I didn’t read the article so you could be right, but I think it’s good to keep in mind that the authors of these articles often read the HN comments. Would you say something like that to them if you were face to face? It may even be true, but it wasn’t kind, nor was it important that it be said. So why say it?
If you had to get this sentiment out, you could have said something like “this article doesn’t give the impression of being written by an intelligent person”, to add a layer of indirection and make it less personal.
