Programming has jumped the shark.

I think HN has seen enough snarky comments for a while. I would request everyone try and abstain from content-free comments.

I think HN has seen enough comments telling everyone else how to behave.

Edit: Apparently folks like being told what to do. shrug Carry on then.

I think that's a misrepresentation. HN has enjoyed a long run as a forum with a professional vibe. Its owner, and the core constituency, do not intend to let it become the next Slashdot/Fark/Digg/Reddit. You can find more background here:

Actually folks like it when second parties tell third parties not to do stuff that the aforementioned folks weren't planning on doing and find annoying when they are done by said third parties.

While I disagree with the tone of this comment, I have to admit my first thought was "TDD has jumped the shark". The last thing I want is some random critter getting happier or angrier based on the results of my testing. I don't want "Agile Clippy", thanks.
