There are constructive solutions to this problem. The solutions do not entail breaking literally millions of builds and suggesting that a developer should torch their reputation for, what, $710 (LOL, give me a break, Drew).
What we have here is performative attention-seeking, known clinically as "maladaptive coping." It's a shame to see this stuff day after day voted up to the HN homepage.

- stoned 5y agoHow does this fall under the definition of satire? “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.” Where’s the humor? Where’s the irony? What is he “satirizing”? He’s trolling and calling it “satire.”
