No, I'm talking about the substance of your comment. It's rambling and conflating seemingly completely unrelated topics. I do not recognize what you have described as any current reality I am a part of: >> "...lot of hipsters that hunt and jump on the latest tech bandwagon..." >> "The underlying sentiment I read was -- "you mean I will be stuck unable to tell everyone I work with the latest bleeding edge tech because there is a newer, cooler faster hemorrhaging tech out there, after I spent nights online evangelizing about how awesome this last bandwagon I jumped on is"" >> "The sad part is that here is Google spending man months of work and giving it back to the community and as a thank you they got spit in the face" Who are we even talking about here? Which community? You seem to be taking a few anecdotes, apparently of HN posts, interpreting them in your own.. strange way and then using that information to paint with the broadest of brushes. Hipsters? We're talking about software development here and programming language choices. -Your- reality might be some strange war where youth subcultures are duking it out for the future of the web based on childish ego fights and posing or something... That's not my reality. |

I am making a colorful analogy to illustrate a point. I think it is appropriate vis-a-vis the level of the original discussion. I already pointed out to cletus' comment in the original thread, read that if you want a more logical and clear explanation.

You mean I am actually writing my own opinions on how I view a situation as opposed to pasting data tables, code or exact quotes I read some other place.

That's fine. But when I don't recognize stuff that is not part of my reality I also don't usually go writing long comments about it. I just skip over. There is stuff about high frequency trading on front page. I don't understand how that works and am not interested, I skip over it. I don't upvote or flag, and certainly don't respond to every comment in there with "Hey everyone, this is not a part of my reality".
