Shallow dismissals are a scourge on HN, and you made it worse with the snark of "I can't believe" and "this guy". In fact, with a single drive-by swipe you dismissed not only the article and someone's current project, but the entire person and an entire business sector to boot. That's a lot of dismissing—it reminds me of the fairy tale, "Seven in one blow." And it's harmful here, so please don't post like this.

If you have a case to make, you're welcome to make it substantively. If you can't do that or don't have time, please don't post at all. That way you at least won't degrade the thread.

This comment isn't substantive—it merely alludes to substance.

Do you think retail credit lending isn't sleezy, dang?
