I don't know why you're being downvoted. You're exactly right. "Oh, our stack is Rails on top of Postgres, we interface with Neo4j for some things. We use Ionic (which is of course Angular) for mobile and are playing with React."
To pretend that anything above the most fundamental abstractions doesn't involve domain-specific, obtuse, arbitrary lingo is just silly.
- archgoon 11y agoBecause it was overly sarcastic. Hacker News, correctly, prefers commenters to make extended comments arguing a point rather than engaging in 'gotcha!' soundbite counterarguments. This is both for improved civility (so that actual discussions can take place), and so that people flesh out their counterarguments more. I apologize to adrusi for my response.
- keithwhor 11y agoDon't beat yourself up. Life's no fun without a little sarcasm. I don't think your intentions were misplaced and I don't think the rules are there to prevent fun. Just to put a reasonable limit on cynicism / negativity.
