For those of us who don't know the author, what's the context here? The article seems to assume we know where they work and what they work on.

She's was a Sysadmin at Facebook from what I can tell.

The author was a senior engineer at FB, well respected, and known for digging into really hard technical problems.

But yeah, it is a bit "inside baseball" and I'm not sure how applicable to outsiders.

What are we supposed to take away from an out of context blog post about someone's office drama again?

That the person writing has a huge ego and you should probably not hire them.

You could easily click on the (rachelbythebay.com) after the link and find out that a lot of her posts have been discussed here over the years, and that a number of them have been posted in the few weeks. Those recent ones will give you the context.

Just flag and move on.

I didn't mind when it was one out of context post, but it seems like there's been 5 or so hitting front page from her domain in the past 2 days. Your guess is as good as mine.

This is of limited utility on HN. It is indeed “inside baseball” if that means what I think it does. Wait for another tech post.
