> I wouldn't worry too much about what's being said or not said on HN. There are great ideas and topics to be covered here for sure, but they're sprinkled on top of a giant cake made with 1-part self-loathing, 2-parts day-dreaming, and 1-part regular huff-and-puffing.

I don't understand your argument regarding why you would not pay much attention to what is being said on HN. Could you explain?

Probably because there is a noisy minority who voice dogmatic opinions without understanding the constraints of the problem at hand. They are lilliputians, spouting wonderful ideas that collapse in the face of deadlines and budgets. For those of us that have to live in reality, they can be very annoying and disheartening, so it's essential to take their opinions with a fistful of salt.

That, yes.

But also because a significant amount of even the day's top popular topics have in the end very little relevance and impact to most businesses.

Which doesn't mean it's not interesting, though.
