I've been sitting on the sidelines of the "Uber is great!" vs "Uber are a bunch of dicks!" war for quite some time now. I always figure every company of reasonable size contains elements of both. But geezus... this was posted with the title in all caps "THE UBER ENGINEERING TECH STACK, PART I: THE FOUNDATION". Presumably by someone at Uber. Is their corporate culture that arrogant?

Could you explain what is arrogant about it? The all caps doesn't come across as arrogant or weird to me on the blogpost.

Sometimes this happens because people use the HN bookmarklet to submit a post and the original article uses all-caps typography for its title (as this one does). But it's so rare for such cases to make the front page that I don't think we need to worry much about it. If it ever becomes a problem it shouldn't be hard to deal with.

All: it's fixed now, so please let's talk about the article rather than title mishaps.
