Why do you confuse a little bit of HN enthusiasm for mass exodus? Does it surprise you that the most vocal people on a forum of craftspeople are the ones in the honeymoon phase of new tools?
If you've been around for more than a few years, you've had plenty of opportunity to see how inaccurate this extrapolation is, like how HN enthusiasm for Elixir doesn't mean that more than a tiny fraction of us are using Elixir.
It's just kind of boring to hear someone complain/jest about "haha developers = lemmings seeking shiny amirite? XD" over and over again, thinking there's some novel witty snark to be had by repeating it for the millionth time. It's also confidently wrong. Most people aren't migrating to new tools just because some people are excited.
