On: I Got Fired from Amazon as a Software Development Engineer

[Jonovono]

What do the green names mean? Never understood

[jareklupinski → Jonovono]

https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented green = new account; orange means YC founders

[thinkindie → Jonovono]

as far as I understand, recent accounts, therefore they are most probably "burner" accounts.

[karpierz → Jonovono]

I think they're newly created accounts; IE, likely throwaways.

New account

[Jonovono → endisneigh]

ohhh makes sense, thanks. I've been kinda just thinking they were HN admins or like people that have gone through YC

[sillysaurusx → Jonovono]

Random fun fact: People who have gone through YC could see fellow YC accounts in orange. It was a neat hidden feature from HN v1. No idea if that's still the case though.
