Hi @anonymous908213

Your comment made me register for a HN account for the first time ever in my life (I have been lurking since 2009/2010).

I did not even think to consider that the OP's submission was AI and I felt dirty, violated and even saddened that a developer home page; something I long assumed in my 35 year old mind to be sacred, technical and a place where you could read honest thoughts about programming was now polluted with genAI.

I always treated them like open source docs or linux contribs pages or deeply technical or academic sites where you could 100% definitely trust that the developer would not waste your time or tell lies.

I think this episode has finally made me decide to go video only, f2f meetings or just zero-out reading from my life.

Just thought you should know what your comment did for me. The whole post now reads cheap, like they didn't value or care about what they said or how readers would feel.
