There is virtually nothing in this article.

I can only assume we’ve adopted the Reddit pattern of upvoting sentiment at this point.

Sadly, I don’t see an alternative. To make it on HN, an article needs to break off of /new. If an article only lasts on /new for 20-40 minutes, an article that takes 20 minutes to read and digest is unlikely to garner enough upvotes to make it off /new.
