Exactly, this “hacker” news. Where does this screed from PG fit into that? If this was published by literally anyone else it wouldn’t have been allowed in the first place.

Hacking isn't just about computer programming, you could call it a philosophy.

I think tracking vibe shifts is interesting and noteworthy.

But he's not doing that. None of this essay is based in data.

That's exactly why it's a vibe shift.

I would call hacking a culture more than a philosophy. Specifically it's a counterculture, much like the group that seems to have the ire of PG, who can (perhaps ironically) be seen here supporting the existing hegemony.

The version of hacking I’ve grown up with for 30 plus years has always had very little space in it for bad takes from rich people.

The philosophy of hacking, traditionally, aligns far more with "wokeness" (using the good faith interpretation) than with the antiwoke, redpilled, capitalist neoreactionary ideology currently wearing its skin for clout.

You’re commenting on the central megaphone of one of the biggest VC components in the valley ecosystem.

That it has “hacker” is seemingly incidental. This place has always had bad takes from rich people - or takes from people who are seeking to be rich by way of tech.

No, but see, it's called the _Democratic_ People's Republic of Korea. It's right there in the name.

Right, but hacker is the culture they have wrapped themselves in, and I'm commenting on that. I'm commenting on one of the markers of validity that matters to how people in this group evaluate the credibility of an argument.
