> It's not surprising to me then that a bunch of engineers who spend all day thinking in this way do the same in different contexts where it may be less appropriate because they are less knowledgeable Bingo! On HN, the "I am very smart" often becomes "I can reason about any unfamiliar ${complex field} from first principles in the time it takes to write a 2-paragraph comment based on only TFA". Such comments elicit confirmation bias from other non-experts and you may have a completely wrong (or not even wrong) comment at the top. It's a frustrating failure-mode of HN. |
