Remember the mantra? Innovators, then imitators, then idiots? HN is already in a third stage. ^_^ You'll be down-voted if you even try to say that Ubuntu, or Java or PHP (or any other target of a mass-hysteria) isn't cool or superior to anything. Recently I got that just because I didn't agree that Ubuntu is the greatest and coolest Linux distro ever. How many of my down-voters can build a distro from scratch or at least recompile PHP with all its modules and their dependencies, or, OK, know how to build a package from its sources? It is a rhetorical question. ^_^ So, everything eventually become reddit. It is just a relation to a number of unique visitors. And when you have a lot of unique visitors then you'll have all those technology narcissists, who're promoting how cool they are in finding a security issues in an amateur code, or how they so clever in explaining obvious things or making easy things easier. Everyone is a teacher nowadays. ^_^
