I'm not considering outsiders. Why should I. It's a reasonable assumption that readers of HN are accustomed to ridiculous sounding tech product names. Further, this is a comment on a thread regarding a particularly new technology in a particularly newly thriving domain. The expectation should therefore be that there will be references to tech even more esoteric than normal. The commenter should have instead thought: oh, new stuff, I wonder what it is, instead of being snarky and pretentious. Man, HN can be totally, digressively insufferable sometimes.

I was responding to your confusion as to why someone might think you were writing a parody.

You ran into the tech equivalent of poe’s law. You said something that makes perfect sense in your technical sphere, but it read as indistinguishable from parody to an audience unfamiliar with the technologies in question.

Apologies for misunderstanding the intention of your comment. That does make sense.

There are more of us that read and shake our heads with you than these cretins who want to tear down - on a tech news site of all places. Don’t be dismayed, and there are more of us with you than against you.
