I'm in total agreement. In the effort to become boring, Hacker News just became more interesting than it has been in the last couple weeks (silly links to Erlang Shen aside).
I come here for this sort of stuff, or for thoughts on business, not to hear what computer nerds think about macroeconomics, politics, and flirting. If I wanted that stuff, I know Reddit's address.
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't like the example used.
I found the twittershouldhireme blog a good lesson: KNOW your audience. That girl was surely noticed by Twitter execs and she did something simple that no one else in her position thought to do.
Erlang posts also belong here and politics usually does not, but don't pick on the twittershouldhireme girl. She's fantastic.
While I didn't find the twittershouldhireme lady very interesting, I don't know why you're complaining that you don't like my using it as an example, since I didn't.
Was this reply was meant for another comment?
PG said that the twittergirl had little value and you agreed, nothing personal, just saying I happen to have found value in it.
What I will never understand about this community:
I get negative Karma for defending an article that was clearly appreciated by some and this guy gets 10+ points for saying "what are you complaining about?" (something of zero value.)
