I guess not everybody caught the irony
- jsmcgd 15y agoDon't you mean sarcasm or are you being ironic?
- ZoFreX 15y agoSarcasm is a form of irony - one meaning of irony is saying one thing, and meaning another. "Sure, that's a great idea" is both sarcastic and ironic (although not ironic in the sense people most commonly use the word, which non-ironically, is not that ironic).

- jemfinch 15y agoI catch the irony, but I'm not confident that it really contributes to the discussion here. Look at the comment thread it's produced: practically nothing of any consequence or interest.
- Calamitous 15y agoYes. Good programmers must also be humorless drones that post disapprovingly when others are clearly enjoying themselves.
- jemfinch 15y agoHumor is funny. That post was a sarcastic expression of an obvious truth. Neither the tone nor the obviousness was what I come to HN for.
- gcb 15y agoI tried... but that's a description of what now I consider my sad-teen-years.
