Please don't be a jerk on HN. I'm sure you don't mean to be, but comments like this can really come across the wrong way. That's one reason the site guidelines include: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

I don't personally think the fact that there are hundreds of other articles that already cover the same topic in greater depth is a shallow dismissal, and I think that could teach people something. But I'm open to the possibility that I maybe could have communicated this in a kinder way. Do you have any suggestions on how?
