Apologies for meta-discussion, but that's one of the reasons I love HN. Reading comments like that is seriously entertaining. I just find it so funny that when confronted with a situation where mods will ban you for being openly rude or vulgar, people developed a whole toolbox of backhanded compliments, snarky adjectives, and wordy moralizing to continue to get their points across. Don't take it too personally, and remember that occasionally someone actually is trying to help you.
- qop 8y agoAnd let me guess, you're in your twenties or maybe early thirties, you're a developer under some manager, nobody answers to you where you work, maybe you have a degree that you'll still pay for five years from now... Probably California resident but maybe not. I'm sure some of this familiar. These are not valuable attributes in opinions. These are people who could be replaced by one another, theres no utility or really anything redeeming about any one of them in particular. Like I said, I post to share a 25+yr career's worth of experience, not to hear little kids tell me how to be snarky online. That's literally one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. HN should abandon it's weird pseudomarxist ideals of self-moderation/conversation and maybe talk about computers for a change.
