Gergely Orosz on Hiring

I'm telling you: GitHub's biggest competitor will soon be Cursor Cursor playing chess, everyone else busy with checkers (disclaimer: I am [was?] an investor in Graphite. Clearly the best AI code review + stacked diffs + PR workflow team and amazing team!)

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Announcement
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic, punchy
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
