Peak HN comment.

Just yesterday someone made a comment about how someone could spend years laboring away on some super cool piece of tech and someone on HN will ignore it all just to point out how the kerning is wonky.

Your comment is exactly what they were referring to. No comment on the project, the data, the conclusion. No related tangent, personal anecdote, or anything else that would generate conversation. Instead, hyper focus on finding some minor flaw that has absolutely 0 impact on the substance or delivery of the project and be sure to call it out in a condescending way.

Should Javascript be written as JavaScript? Sure. Does it materially change anything at all about what is being presented? Absolutely not.

Thanks for your perspective.

FWIW, my comment was made in good faith to help the author create a better impression with folks who are steeped in those two technologies. At the same time, I can see how it can feel pedantic.

Peak self-absorption.

HN is known for its pendants.
