Imagine working hard your whole life that you get to a point that most cannot even dream of getting to and having some schmuck on an online forum who knows nothing other than some headline hoping that you would fail.

It appears the trend is becoming that just by being negative and short on everything is some kind of lazy hack to appear intelligent.

Are you annoyed that he's being negative, or because he didn't back it up with a reason?

Because I've done development both for embedded arm microcontrollers and CUDA. ARM feels like a benevolent overlord that wants to help you. Documentation is open, compilers are easily accessible, there's lots of random blogs with best practices on how to do common operations. Nvidia feels like their entire goal is to extract as much money out of you as they can.

I'm not hoping ARM fails. I'm hoping the sale fails, because if the sale succeeds, ARM will fail.

Can't speak for the other poster but original post (Literally just "Good I hope the whole sale fails") provides no reasoning, information, discussion, or anything else of value, exactly the sort of low effort comment that the HN culture and dang usually discourages.

Imagine building a business on the goodwill and trust of your customers and then selling it off to the highest bidder while leaving them hanging in the wind. That's the typical acquisition story.

Who is the hard worker in this statement? A corporation is literally a set of legal documents. No human was discussed at all.

He's just expressing his opinion and it one likely shared by many other people.

Lol. Do you work for SoftBank? Or Nvidia? They could have gone public and all employees with any skin in the game (aka options) would make a killing. Nvidia ownership of ARM would only harm the industry.
