This is the best comment I have seen on HN in a long time. I agree with everything you said, but that isn't the reason this is the best comment. I appreciate that someone else knows what things last and what is just short lived dopamine highs. (news drama, politic drama, etc)
- jjaredsimpson 7y agoHow could it be the best comment when it doesn't even address OPs question? OP asked for "X" This reply says, "dont X, X is bad" It is the same as every off topic top comment.
- bag531 7y agoReminds me of Stack Overflow.
- LinuxBender 7y agoYou are right that it does not answer OP's question. I stand by my words, it is still the best comment I have seen. Sometimes it is right to "dont X, X is bad", as it is an opinion which people may freely communicate. I will happily accept my text turning grey for expressing my opinions.
- simonsarris 7y agoYour mileage may vary but the most helpful commentary I have gotten in my life is usually couched in that format: when I am asking for X, but had not considered Y enough, or at all, and someone replies suggesting Y instead, and then I realize new possibilities.
