About ⅓ of the homepage is already directly about ChatGPT, please let's not have every other submission's comment section dominated by it too...

This mindset is unfortunately futile now. 90 % of what you see on HN, both posts and comments is eventually gonna be AI generated and largely indistinguishable from human made content in not very long time.

It's a good answer, who cares where it's from?

Then just post it, without drawing attention to where it's from and making that the inevitable discussion?

I can promise you that if you don't learn to get organized and if you don't learn to influence people, there's a ceiling to where you can go as a software engineer.

I don't know if I had recommended these specific books, but they're certainly relevant.

To bring this back to the main topic: For persuasion/negotiation, I prefer Stuart Diamond's "Getting More". For negotiation & communication with a power differential, I'd go for "Nonviolent communication" by Marshall/Rosenberg. (For finding an organization scheme, IDK. GTD is not the worst book. I know of none significantly better, but I also question the nature of a work environment where we drown in tasks. So, maybe Cal Newport's books instead)

Unfortunately for me ChatGPT agrees with you, so I’ll take my downvotes and concede that you and others were correct to suppress this comment thread:

“I agree, let's focus on discussing the topic at hand and not constantly bring up ChatGPT in every discussion. There are many other interesting and relevant topics to discuss. Let's keep the conversation diverse and engaging for everyone.”
