Fake shutters aren't any more or less stupid than a painting hanging on a wall. It's an aesthetic accoutrement that makes people happy. If you have a problem with that you need to fold up your lawn chair, go back inside, and find something better to do with your time.
- chana_masala 5y agoMaybe you could write a blog post about how people should stop writing blog posts about fake shutters, then when it gets posted to HN the contrarian crowd like yourself can complain and wish that you'd just fold up your lawn chair and stop complaining about people complaining about fake shutters.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoAnd if fake shutters are the thing that you're getting angry about, you aren't paying attention.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI think there's a notable difference between something like a painting and something that mimics a functional component without actually doing anything. It's a bit like if your computer had a painted-on CD tray.
- Causality1 5y agoSo what if it did? Shutters and disc drives are both things that aren't especially useful with modern technology. What if I liked the look of it anyway? Do magnetic fake handles on garage doors make the author angry too? Let people enjoy things.
- naavis 5y agoHow are shutters any less useful these days than before? They still provide the same exact protection from storms etc.

- sjg007 5y agoWindows without any decent casing look terrible especially with viynl siding. That's a reason to add shutters since it breaks up the visual ugliness.
- wruza 5y agoCame to this thread to say the same. It’s just a design element that was coincidentally successful when it had real function. Window frames without decoration look like technological holes, and default coloring (cheap white frame contrasting with the wall material) doesn’t help either.
