I respect this comment for being very aggressive while still, AFAICT, being within the HN rules lol. I also came to the comments with a “wait, does this make any sense…?” attitude.

That said, I disagree with your decision to see this line of work as dishonest, despite the higher tempo meaning they’re a bit more rote. They’re popular because they’re easy to digest, and i think that’s an important role!

Consider what this article is: they’re just trying to critique a particular design and explain the principles behind it. Not everyone already knows every design principle.
