Making sarcastic and condescending comments is not the same as being “blunt”. Your original post was basically the textual version of an eye-roll emoji.
Some unsolicited advice: if you assume that your interlocutors are reasonable and intelligent adults who disagree with you because they come from a different background and have a different perspective rather than because they are idiots, you’ll get much more value out of conversations.
- MR4D 10y agoI like your emoji analogy. That being said, I was reacting to the parent's use of the word "devastating". Not sure how $1,000 per library is devastating. I believe people on HN are reasonable, but the term "devastating" was hyperbole at best. Clearly I'll spend more time on composing next time as I obviously hit a nerve, unintentionally.
