“This is the biggest mistake of your career” is never said by a competent manager at any level when people leave for new opportunities. Not only is that never true, it’s also a poisonous act — they’ve now ensured you will never recommend them, potentially even discourage others from working there.

Distilled: While I dislike Paul Graham for his social takes, he’s right that “mean people fail”.
