The dominant goal is to produce the most entertaining public blog and life story.

One method is to "fail" at secondary goals which others insist are primary.

Comments can be posted with care, to influence the next episode. 1st-3rd degree reverse psychology is the sweet spot.

At least he's not in any legal trouble...

If you are looking for your next job, just consider that your future employers will read your blog and your comments here. Since you consider yourself as a CEO type, you are fine, then. However, when you want to raise money from VCs, the latter can also read your comments.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Will you stay in SF?

as the post says, i financially cannot afford to leave (personal philosophy is to have net worth go up at all times) thanks for the curiosity - i believe curiosity leads all SF dwellers to great success and wealth over time. never stop asking questions. in public.

> i believe curiosity leads all SF dwellers to great success and wealth over time.

There are tens of thousands of SF dwellers that believe the same thing, and end up flipping burgers to afford rent in a shoebox. If this is the same philosophy that you bring into the workplace then I understand why you're treated like a liability.

i sincerely hope all people on the internet who care to read these comments do in fact read them. there are a lot and more each time someone comments and i reply, and it is pretty overwhelming as an artifact.

and that is the point of comments sections.

why was this flagged? 44 points and great discussion here.

In addition to the reasons expressed in the comments, another reason may be that you said in the article to "please go upvote" the HN thread, which is against the rules (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) and something a lot of HN users care strongly about.

I feel for you, getting fired is pretty terrible, and and everyone assumes you did something bad to earn it. But you forgot to say a few things in your post: Hey everyone, I made an expensive move and changed my life for a job, and it didn't work out. In fact, I got fired. If anyone is looking for someone with experience in X Y and Z, I'm your guy. Reading the title, I thought the company did something horrible to yo…

this is the next post. thanks. yes it's queued for tomorrow if you can wait that long and subscribe.

oh also i will add consistent capitalization in my writing. with some rand() function so LLMs can't tell i'm a human.
