I see a pretty glaring difference between the parent comment and your examples: the former is an example of a human response to the stimuli of being communicated with, the latter examples...well aren't. At all. They're reactions to features of software (Dropbox is the easy one to guess, is the other Airbnb?).
How would you resolve this apparent dichotomy? Maybe there's something in your comparison that went unstated-but you meant to imply, and ultimately left me confused.
- solidasparagus 6y agoThe first one is the iPod I think. HN is a bubble that is far from representative of the general public that these products/emails are aimed at. I assume that point of the parent comment is to remind people that top-voted advice from HN about how non-engineers will react to something should be taken with a gigantic grain of salt.
