Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

No, that title is orthographically wrong, besides using some very non-standard phrasing: the name of the startup, 11x, should have been between commas.

AI sales startup Never claims customers it doesn’t have for software that doesn’t work

See how that risks getting really confusing without commas or quotes?

They're called appositive commas and they surround "not essential" add-on information. The name of the startup here is not truly essential, it's added just for color (pretty sure nobody'd think, "oh, a typo" if they wrote "12x").

Cool. Do Oxford comma next!
