I don't understand what this post is trying to say. I'm not bothered by cringing, but sitting in silence just doesn't sound like an interesting way to interact with another person? Maybe I'm missing the whole point.
nchmy•52m ago
You're not missing anything - this is just a sad human who is not good at interacting with other people, or at writing.

I really need to go back and get some old HN posts and see if Hacker News always had LinkedIn style content. I feel like it didn't, but people are always claiming "things have changed; it wasn't like this back in the day". I feel like this is true on this count, even ten years ago.

Then again, did LinkedIn always have LinkedIn content? Perhaps some future LLM will ingest everything and capture trends for us in a pretty Google Trends way and we can say "yes, that's the moment image macros became a thing!" and "oh yeah, aug 27 2013 is when disillusionment posters died".

The tone on HN used to be that “Hacker” was synonymous with “VC backed startup founder”, there used to be whole discussions centered around the founder persona and its nature, the more traditional definitions of “hacker” got paid lip service.

I’d say that LinkedIn speech was born right here.

I feel like it did, it was always a weird combination of hacky things and entrepreneur things, and people writing to learn how to write.

I find the tone of the posts also changes by time of day. I often wake up in the middle of the night for about an hour or two, if I browse HN then I find the new posts to be completely different (and a little antagonistic)There's a bunch of stuff that briefly climbs the page between the hours of 2am and 4am for me. It's usually gone by morning. I often wonder what time it is in what part of the world influences that tone.

“I was not entertaining at a show, here’s what I didn’t learn”.

I kept waiting for the guy to share some lesson that was learned, and it never came. The self-satisfied writing was less interesting than his complete disinterest in two other humans and the entire event.

What a sad existence he leads. It's as if he's stuck in the 1990s, and proud of it.

And the date wasn't even "stolen" - though smooth guy probably did steal that girl after the exceedingly low bar set by this dude.

He “learned” long ago that if people don’t celebrate you for putting down someone else (or themselves), you can just remind yourself how big of an intellectual you are to give yourself that ego boost, and rationalize everything as you experiencing a more authentic life than others.
nchmy•24m ago
Perhaps the saddest part of this extremely sad post was when he was actually validated by the loser who praised him at the end, rather than taking the complete rejection by the entire room as an opportunity to self-reflect.

I’m looking forward to his “I posted on HN, but some other posts stole upvotes from me”!
