It seems trivial but I think it's important to discuss the aesthetic of these types of things. It's not to nitpick, it's not to make fun of a person or belittle their work (I think most people here agree it's a great post!), it's to engage in a communal discussion about what we learned here so we can apply it elsewhere. Isn't that still in the spirit of HN? I don't find the parent comment to be the most constructive example but, ignoring the subjective criticism about the jokes, I agree there's something unusually distracting about the format. For example, the bunnies that highlight content on the right-hand side? If you're reading the entire post, you're going to read some sentences twice over -- So why are these here? For summary? Why couldn't the summary be in a more accessible area like the top?
