Did YOU read the article? Dude extolls the virtues of a stable programming environment and I am simply providing examples from my own experiences boring-ifying previously exciting code.
And you're right, noone forces anyone to use anything on Show HN. But do you not see anything wrong with a lot of these projects, where a fancy CSS-and-nodeJS-atrocity slides and glimmers around the fact that it's hiding alpha-quality code? (Rehashing production-level ideas no less) Sure we on HN know it's just show-and-tell, but what about others? Just yesterday there was a Show HN that was all web site and no product -- in fact I think it used more screen space to document what their project lacked as opposed to what it had. If what was posted a zip with a readme.txt that'd be one thing, but instead we have ideas masquerading as products.
Just as bad are all these security wonks that need to give their vulnerabilities nice, marketable nicknames. It was effective the first time, but now it's just obnoxious -- file a CVE and let the community decide!
