this kind of reply makes me cringe.. i had a manager once who would do something similar on rare occasions i asked about something he already stated in the past. he'd re-paste it into the chat window (sometimes twice).. as if fostering proof that i must be retarded for missing a nugget of his eternal wisdom. the only thing that kept me alive was collecting such snippets for eventual book or at least a blog post about how much he sucked at being a manager.

this was one of many valuable lessons of what not to do. ever.

Small world, I think I worked for the same guy. My favorite nugget of wisdom from him was a dismissive "connect the dots..." that turned out to imply something that was disastrously incorrect.

I would love to see the end result of your book/blog post :P

As SonicSoul commented on the 12th of April, this will be published early next year. Or weren't you paying attention?

Bosses like that are as valuable as they are unbearable.

People like that help teach the differences among bosses, managers, and leaders.

They just asked a question. There is no need to be snarky, and your suggestion wouldn't even have answered their question.

[bowerbird]

actually, "they" didn't ask any question.

and peterkelley wasn't being "snarky" either. he was making a joke, based on the description of the subject-matter of the book.

oh, and i'm not being "snarky" either. but it's so very difficult to resist the temptation!, i don't know if i'm gonna be able to do it!, i can feel myself slipping even as i continue typing!...

[bowerbird]

i apologize for my misunderstanding.

i'm still kinda new at hacker-news, and its threading is still a mystery to me.
