LLVM's logo is a wyvern

  You mean > a winged two-legged dragon with a barbed tail ? https://llvm.org/Logo.html https://llvm.org/Logo.html > The LLVM logo is a stylized wyvern (a kind of dragon). Dragons have connotations of power, speed and intelligence, and can also be sleek, elegant, and modular (err, maybe not). In addition, there is a series of influential compiler books going back to 1977 which featured dragons on the cover. Leave it to HN to jump to nitpick something as meaningless a wyvern vs a dragon but not even take 5 seconds to check the primary source

      Well the nitpicking is pretty well accepted at this point, but since when are spammy comments like this a thing?

    99% of readers either read and voted or moved on, it’s just one guy who decided to nitpick you, not some nebulous “HN” hive mind collective.

      useless nitpicks is a time honored HN tradition.
