I mean, if you have billg money, I guess you could have a couple ex-FAAMG software developers on payroll just so you could call them up at any hour of the day and have them give you uninformed hot-takes about an article you found online and just forwarded them, and need them to tell you something based on the headline without actually reading the article, but that seems a bit weird. I don't even have Snoop Dogg money to pay someone to roll joints for me though, so what do I know about having billg-levels of money.


“Hello, Phil? Yeah, doing fine, look, I need 200 takes on React, 50 of them actually having nothing to do with it, 100 that are just flames, 40 that are deeply stupid, and 10 that are at least informed and a bit insighthful, but not really that interesting or valuable. Please just jumble them up rather than sorting them by quality or usefulness, I want to have to waste a bunch of time and emotional energy finding the good ones. Great, thanks.”


So far this is not my HN experience. But there are many things one can spend time with. Reading web site might not interest all I admit.


the hn experience wouldn't be complete with only uninformed hot takes; it also requires that they argue with everything you say and then accuse you of being disingenuous
