| Please don't respond to a bad comment with swipes and putdowns. HN is a statistical distribution across a wide spectrum of comments. The only helpful thing to do is to make sure your own contributions raise the median quality, rather than dragging it down further. Your comment would have been fine without the first sentence. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. > HN feedback has become cancer It's all too easy to succumb to false feelings of generality about this kind of thing [1], because (a) there's a spectrum, as I mentioned, and (b) we're all inclined to notice the things we dislike, and weight them more heavily [2]. But these are all comments that other users posted to the same thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30060780 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30049509 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30048458 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30047502 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30047488 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30047403 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30046427 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30050602 Those commenters all managed to offer positive feedback without combining it with negative generalizations about others. If you could do the same in the future, that would be very helpful. [1] https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
