It’s like with most programmers today having forgotten assembly. If their compiler breaks, what are they going to do?!

(I jest a bit, actually agree since turning assembly->compiled code is a tighter problem space than requirements in natural language->code)

What a grossly disingenuous comparison.

Read the second line. If you can't generalize then I can't help you. Have good faith (and obtain a sense of humor).

I can't read it, your comment has been flagged. Good day.

That flag won't stick. Flagging someone just because you disagree with them is abusing the system. It adds noise and more work for the moderators to actually remove spam and troll comments. There's a downvote button. If you flagged it, then should be obvious to you after a decade of having an account on this site. If you still don't get it, then I can only assume that you're trolling (good luck with that). Also, fix your browser or whatever you use to read hn. Good day. lol

No, I didn't flag your comment lol

Still a terrible apples to oranges comparison.

You tried to make a point that flagging was an appropriate response. Obviously I made it a conditional whether you did it or not, because I can't know. But you obviously did not understand that flagging is a tool for moderation, not a tool to prove a point.

Learn to consider whether you are mis-intepreting the person or there's something you don't know and ask questions. You literally wrote that you had an issue reading the whole comment, and dialogue would have resolved that specific misunderstanding instead of your antagonistic comment. I literally wrote "in jest" for a reason and you conveniently continue to miss it even after resolving your rendering issues. Jokes and tongue in cheeks are ways to open a conversation, not to invite lazy or stupid comments.

It's not my problem that you can't do these simple things like asking questions or reading/listening closely. And when you decide to be antagonistic about it, then you're just digging yourself into a hole (your loss and I don't feel sorry for you). Still, I don't think you understand what I was saying, but that doesn't matter because you seem to only care to vent.

You haven't contributed anything interesting to this thread. Just stop. You want to argue? Use your head, for your own sake.
