I agree with your points.
I will add two more 'HN tropes' in the forms of factions that are out there and tend to show up pretty often.
The Rust Evangelism Strike Force and its close cousin (of which I admit to being a card-carrying member who tries not to be too pedantic / indiscriminate with my strikes) the F# Evangelism Strike Force.
PS: I wonder if there is a recent listicle for Top 50 most common Hacker News comments / memes / tropes ? DDG says not much about it, just surfacing the nGate.com Hacker News weekly stuff.
- krapp 7y agoI've sometimes thought it would be funny if someone wrote some kind of machine-learning algorithm that studied Hacker News comments and auto-completed threads when certain comments appeared. It would if nothing else make things more efficient. Also - paywalls. If a site has a paywalls it's all but guaranteed that most of the thread will be consumed by complaints about it.
