Why Worshipping Lord Ram Important in Hinduism?
I remember this guy from wayyyy back. Very vocal and eccentric. Recently came across his name on Blind and found his blog. Honestly he writes way too much, what's the TLDR on his thoughts? He seems delusional and a conspiracy theorist.
he got kicked out of google and quora. i wish he had stayed on quora atleast
I quite enjoyed reading his old rants from the series "Y Combinator and Paul Graham are bad for the world". I think he erased them now from his blog, but you can still find them elsewhere. Not sure what he writes about these days. I think he had an AMA on Reddit.
if you read his stuff, he acts like the world needs to conform to his idea of fairness, otherwise it's not fair. in other words, he's a trumpian narcissist. you have to make sacrifices to work, like doing mostly what they tell you, understand the culture and the hidden things they value.
@Gaddafi: Read about him on go/legends
Love him. He is probably crazy (he admits to mental illness actually) but I can't help but admire his brassy diatribes - IMHO he's always 100% right too. He speaks the truth which others are too timid to speak !
He's a legend in engineering folklore and should be respected as such.
I appreciated some of his posts for their cynical and dystopian views. I think his posts became more verbose and therefore less coherent over time. Yeah, there was a bit of conspiracy theory in there, but I thought it was useful. I think he saw real patterns (like regarding acquihires and the ladder in Silicon Valley), but where he speak of them in terms that leaned collusive and planned, I think they're more the results of extremely complex rules and incentives in an ecosystem.
He sounds a little unpleasant and probably couldn't keep a job cause he was a douchebag. But I actually agree with many of his points such as the promo process at google being broken.
He is my father.
Son I told you stay off blind. My friends read this site.
