What happened to HN? Not snarky; serious question. If one of the most interesting sites on the web can fall victim to widespread cynicism and pessimism, how can we avoid the same thing happening here in the future? See also: Reddit. https://i.imgur.com/83bOv7K.png

How is this not a legit POV based on what Elon has put Twitter employees through over the last 6 months? I agree HN sucks but developers being pissed that a man child can bat them around like a plaything sounds pretty normal to me

It is understandable, but it is also differ from the hacker and builder ethos that HN used to have. If you think your employer suck, do whatever you can do internally to make it slightly more bearable. Or just quit. Maybe even start a new venture to compete with your former employer. Being cynical is unproductive.
