This is awesome! Can I help you fix the website a tiny bit to make it top notch and get the founders started with a content strategy & machine?

This is purely help, 100% free. So feel free to reach out. :)

I would love to help rebuild the community.

define “joy” lol

Ghost writing?

Might be simpler. PG no longer has to censor his own speech in fear it will rebound on his business.

It’s no longer [flagged]. Thank you.

It's been flagged again. What a mess.

Unflagged again. This is super weird.

Why is it flagged?

Probably people irritated at HN being a cult of personality for Paul Graham. He's not that interesting a writer, but people here swallow his literary turds like they're pure gold.

People thought it would be like a joke perhaps. Anyway, it's unflagged now.

And now it is flagged again. This really seems to rub some people (dare we say the "the aggressively conventional-minded"?) the wrong way ...

It’s flamebait, and will never incite civil discussions. Why would we want it on the front page?

there's plenty of civil discussion in this thread.

imo banning an article about cancel culture would only bolster its point.

but I'm curious, why do you think it's flamebait and not a topic warranting discussion?

Because heresy.

That’s why I wrote this! And we have PTO. Let’s use them!

100% agreed! Discipline is important. We need an alarm clock to go to sleep. Waking up becomes so easy then (:

I am interviewing for hubspot as well currently and I also read the books. Interesting !!

The book ("Disrupted") was a real laugh. After reading it, I wouldn't want to work there.

Wait, isn’t that the book where the guy stayed there for like 2 years just to log all the crazy stuff that happened so he could write a book? Weren’t people like having sex in the company beds during work hours?

Yes, that's it. Some crazy stuff happened and many people "graduated" from the company. Perhaps a Hubspot employee can tell us how true it all was!

Thank you so much. You’re also just one of us. Welcome to the internet.
