#2Not that some people wouldn't find it entertaining, but this is just the sort of thing that I was happy not to find at YC.news in the past. The question is: is it just me being a grumpus, or is it indeed not "hacker-worthy"? The expanded scope makes it a little tricker to judge content.
No offense meant, LaurieCheers - it's not like it's some horribly lame and offensive site, just not the sort of 'usual fare' for this one.

I notice that this is a new user. Maybe users shouldn't be able to post stories until they've spent N days on the site. I think I wouldn't be in favor of voting stuff down - that, or have some very consensus oriented approach (lots of people have to vote down to have an effect). One of the problems with reddit is that one or two people vote something down initially and it's gone. They have a disproportionate influence, in other words.

I read an estimate somewhere that if you grow a company workforce by more than 25% a year, you risk losing the company culture you've built up.

Fair comment.
Frankly, I wasn't sure if it was on-topic either; let the collective decide. :)
