The point is that it's really cool that some developer took the time to clean up part of the internet that is largely orthogonal to his life.
That's respectable, right?
If he put this in a blog post instead of a Reddit comment, would you still be complaining?
- Klonoar 15y agoYeah, because it's not about the fact that it was done on Reddit, it's the fact that this just isn't news to most people here. This is easily one of the most basic web design techniques pushed today, and what he fixed is so espoused in the basics of frontend performance that I'm shocked people consider this news. John's a great dev and a nice guy who just fixed a subreddit. I don't see it as news if he makes an incredibly basic change to an arbitrary site, though - I follow him on Twitter for this kind of information. ;)
- DisposaBoy 15y agoTo be fair most of the things I see on the HN front-page are either not news to me or not interesting to me. So going by your logic my question is: Why are so many uninteresting non-news-worthy links on the front-page? As to your other point about there being other sites out there where you'd go t read about CSS... that same argument can be made for every single link posted here, so my question is: Why are we here?
