HN is gonna get pretty damned quiet if techbros can’t immediately mansplain their opinions to each other about things they have no clue about. (“But but but, I work for FAANG! I passed their stupid gatekeeping recruitment quizzes! I’m _clearly_ the smartest guy in the room! Now, let me tell you all about epidemiology and airborne virus transmission. What? No, I studied CompSci not any of those boring soft sciences like medicine or biology. Anyway, what we need to do is…”).
