Comment on The Man Who Killed Google Search
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 9 months agoOverall the reporting is interesting, but weird comments like this show his naked disdain for everyone and everything in the tech industry which does not make him a particularly trustworthy source.
I’d disagree - what this shows is only disdain for everyone who’s fucking up technologies for the sake of profit. And I’m with him there, I found it refreshing to read an accurate account of what pieces of shit work behind the scenes in the industry. Not that I am surprised, but the account of what seems to have happened in detail and in that sequence was new to me.

Well you can disagree all you want but you’re clearly and objectively wrong.
His criticism of the code yellow is not because anyone involved in the code yellow procedure, invention, or naming deserves anything, he just hates people everyone in tech so much that a whimsical name must be a bastard move, and not just people at their job trying to make the most of it.
Yeah, cause you’re accepting his characterizations of everyone as bastards at face value despite not knowing them and despite knowing that Ed Zirtron thinks everyone is a bastard because it makes his world simpler. Yes it is “refreshing” to stop thinking about complex chains of actions and consequences and just think “he’s an evil bastard man and it’s his fault”.

“[considering] everyone as bastards” is a strawman argument. Furthermore, the people described are assholes by the evidence provided, assuming the evidence is noy falsified.

No, far from it. Noone involved with the naming of the code yellow name has any evidence of bastardry presented at all.
