My response is probably controversial. But I genuinely think it’s generally helpful advice. Ofc I don’t have any other information than the comment about this person.

You literally said they should do something.

[baxtr]

Yes exactly. I stand by that advice. What’s the alternative? Do nothing?

So you advise that they do not need to change their approach at all, since they’re already doing something: posting on hacker news.

Ok, so comments like this are helpful then?

[lazyasciiart]

Yes, by explaining to you why yours was bad and hopefully preventing future such comments.
