Off-putting? I think skepticism over marketing-hype from workers in a field is how things are supposed to work, especially for a group that spends lots of time plotting things out looking for edge-cases and ways for it to fail. I'd be far more disturbed by the opposite, where everybody on HN is expected to gush over the thing-du-jour. As aptly-put for a prior hype-cycle: > Tech Enthusiasts: "Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via Alexa! I love the future!" > Programmers/Engineers: "The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise." |
