Can you please not post shallow dismissals and put other people's work down like this? Putdowns tend to get upvoted, and then they sit at the top of threads, letting off toxic fumes and making this a nasty place. We're trying to avoid that here. (I've downweighted this subthread now.) I'm not sure why name-calling and meanness attract upvotes the way they do—it seems to be an unfortunate bug in how upvoting systems interact with the brain—but HN members need to realize that posts like this exert a strong conditioning effect on the community. It's always possible to rephrase a comment like this as, for example, a curious question—you just have to remember that maybe you're not 100% aware of every consideration that went into someone's work. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html |
