We do?
Anyone who really thinks that's true has not been paying attention to the entirety of recorded human history.

Thanks for the reply! I usually add a little bit about me at the end of the post as a bonus, helps people as HN doesn't have a strong profile page, but anyway, thanks for sharing, it's much appreciated. I wish you an amazing weekend!
A small "available for contracts" or "we are hiring" at the end of a 3 or 4 pages blog post is somewhat usual. If each of your post have an about section that is like one third of the post, people will get angry and write mean comments and flag ypur posts.
Thanks Gus, I will keep it "short" on the next one or find a better way to let people know a bit more about who wrote the question. Once more, I appreciate the answer.
I will ask you too that, since we're on this topic... why do you think even smart people make "bad" decisions? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Good point! human history shows that, at least the documented one. Do you have specific examples? just curious here.
