Poor kid, learning how an enterprise works the hard way. If he stays in software eng long enough he'll be back here eventually, with a little less gumption, but a little more tactics and grit to fight the battles he wants to fight.

Are we belitteling people now because they have intrinsic standards and pride in the quality of their work instead of blindly chasing whatever is best for their replaceable career in a hypercapitalistic environment?

No. We're just being condescending pricks on the internet

Huh, self-aware HN. Don't see that very often.

Aside from the GP comment calling the guy "kid", it doesn't seem especially condescending to me.

I read it more like "Yeah, we've all been there. It's a sucky lesson to learn, but in the end he's likely to be wiser (albeit more jaded) to these things."

Hopefully they'll learn that such standards don't exist and that if they do will deteriorate by the second year.

If it wasn't for it being some big enterprise corporate company no one would give a stuff about the blog post.

Do I care someone left company X, fired from company Y? No.

Do I acknowledge it's upsetting? Yes, Pack your stuff and try again.

welcome to life.
