One of the most self-aggrandizing posts I've read on HN. This is just a "look at me" article.

>A lot of Heroku folks I know are avoiding HackerNews and other sites, for mental health purposes.

If these are the types of "engineers" Heroku hired, it's not a mystery why they failed. The author admits to spending their time "shitposting" at work, "burning out," etc. Maybe they're not the "high-performing IC/tech lead" they delusionally believe they are.
