I mean :/ Let me be devil's advocate, You have added yet another comment without actually giving a link to that...

And I mean, I do feel like that as long as they aren't actively harming the "ethos" of hackernews, then we can cut each other a little slack each other

I feel like I have sometimes done a disservice like this too to HN where I ask for links sometimes and maybe they just wanted to confirm if this was the right course or they might be coming from a job tired and didn't think this tooo much y'know?

But i mean I also understand your standpoint that you want less clutter on HN which is why I feel a bit :/

I was questioning if OP was a karma farming bot, have a look at their profile. It's a lot of these odd one liner questions.

From the perspective of a useful thread, I agree with you

Ahh, just checked it and I think you might be correct but here's my nuanced take

Yeah I can also understand it, but I just saw their comments and scrolled down to find it ``` Nah, DotNET is amazing these days. At the risk of starting a holy war, it is neck-and-neck with Java, and I say that as a Java fanboi. I think it is good to have healthy competition between languages (and ecosystems), like C++ and Rust (and a little bit Zig) or GCC and Clang or Java and DotNet or Python and Ruby or NodeJS and Deno. Plenty of people are compiling and deploying to Linux after DotNetCore went open source. Plus, you can use JetBrains Rider, which is a cross-platform IDE for C#, from the makers of IntelliJ ```

It just seems that their use of words like boi etc. makes them (genz?-ish)

I am genz too (maybe younger than them, still in HS) but yeah maybe they just write one liners which can be quite common but I see that more on the reddit kind of things and not hackernews lol. I can definitely see our generation's attention span being cooked that when I write remotely as long as this, they say nah I ain't reading it. So well, how are they gonna write it for the most part :/

It might be a bot but then again, what is the point? The point I see of HN points is that I might create a new account and be the same guy and kind of accrue them back because I once had it y'know while being myself not writing some one liners lol.

The fact that I like about HN is that I have talked to soooo many people that I admire whether its a one liner from jose valim or etc. and I am happy that hackernews exists to a somewhat degree :>

Like just out of curiosity, has someone ever got any job or smth through HN in the sense that they had their karma in part of their resume and the company was impressed lol, I can see it to a somewhat degree in maybeee startups

Interesting, the one I actually used was the text based course hosted by Helsinki U itself.
