This is one of those HN threads with a lot of misinformation by people who don't know the subject area well but have a strong opinion anyway.
It would be helpful if folks would state their credentials/experience with respect to the subject area in their comment.
Mine: none whatsoever, but am interested in reading informed discussions with folks with either credentials or experience in subject matter.

- wenc 8y agoWell, computer-related topics tend to be ok around here... not always, but at least there's a critical mass of folks who work in the area so the probability of coming across an informed opinion is much higher.
