Check out my comment history and you’ll see that I agree with the points too! But the bar for a good Hacker News post is “interesting”. Opinions that are widely agreed with on here, and have been for years, don’t meet that for me personally. That’s my say on the matter, you of course are welcome to yours.

For what it’s worth, I live in the UK, and have never been to the US.

I implore you to watch the incessant, and regular posts on HN claiming that microservices are the future for everyone and everything, and then be there to tell them you've seen this before. My guess is you won't be as lead-footed in those cases. The idea that if you write an article or an opinion, and have to do an hour of research to see if its been covered before is a high level of micromanagement that you just aren't ever going to see, I'm sorry. It's super unrealistic to expect that.

Sure. It’s also super-unrealistic to expect me not to criticise the article for being boring.

Okay.
