Unfortunately that's how the real world is when you ask people to spend their time to look at what you've done. They are going to look at it for exactly 10 seconds and tell you it sucks or that they have no use for it. If HN (or any other website) turns into a "Its OK, you're among friends here" type of auto-fawning community, it would delude people into thinking they're actually doing something worth showing to people as opposed to hacking on a hobby project for their own enjoyment.
