mental health is really important and there seems to be a growing trends of folks making comments on HN like this who sound really burnt out. burn out can be hard to place, ive been through it and in now way do i share this reflection. ide rather reach across the isle and just help someone vs. go on HN and complain like this.
I do think that pasting AI responses gives "reading the encyclopedia entry at someone", which is quite rude and crass, but you can't open peoples' eyes with similar levels of rudeness.
