@dang, I found this in the guidelines: Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work.
I see good critical comments here but also many shallow dismissals from people who just sneer at the work of all software engineers who created MongoDB. Why is such behavior tolerated in any Mongo thread and why do these people never face any consequences?
- swebs 6y agoThat doesn't work here. You have to send an email to hn@ycombinator.com
- neogodless 6y ago> Why is such behavior tolerated in any Mongo thread and why do these people never face any consequences? I think you answered your own question: "guidelines." Those that believe in this community, and want adherence to the guidelines will vote on submissions and comments so as to reflect that belief. Shallow dismissals tend to get voted down, and they may be refuted if someone is inspired to put the effort in to explain why such a shallow dismissal is either unwelcome or missing important information. Seeing as these are guidelines, there is no swift and absolute retribution for light infractions, when the community can largely self-correct such things.
