Poe's Law for a parody of the self-important sv techbro

It's a testament to Poe's Law that I genuinely cannot tell if the OP was being funny or not.

There's a reason why HN of all places has such a terrible record of handling actual sarcasm and telling it apart from genuine belief and that reason is NOT that "HN is really smart" lol

[the_af]

Agreed! I think HN is average, and its userbase think themselves smarter than they really are.

... but I still cannot tell if the original commenter was sarcastic or not! ;)
