Wow, this comment has a lot of anger towards someone just doing a post-mortem of the lessons they learned.

It illustrates something that I don't understand. Why do you care so much that you significantly affect the tone on this HN discussion? You bring up some excellent points, but your tone completely changes how your comment is perceived, and detracts from your contributions.

I am now going to take my own advice -- when you perceive someone else's words as so obnoxious that you cannot help but respond -- and ditch my HN account and re-add it to my blocklist.

Thank you for providing me with the impetus to regain hours of my day.
