Maybe it's my autism, but I don't understand what's remarkable about this story. Clearly some people find it interesting or else it wouldn't have made it to the front page of HN. Can someone elaborate?
- tux3 5y agoI suppose it's like a photo of a distant land. Nothing interesting that you haven't seen every second of every day, if you live there.
- rsayers 5y agoThanks, that's fantastic. I'm also autistic, and yes, this just looked like a transcript of a normal conversation, so I wasn't sure what the draw was. Your explanation cleared that up for me.
- anothernewdude 5y agoMy reaction was, why not? Why not this post rather than the others that end up here. Much better this than another stupid IPO filing.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoStories don't have to be remarkable; this is a parent recording a moment in their and their child's life, something that they might otherwise forget or get lost in the mud of other memories jumbled together. I think it's quite cute.
- drewcoo 5y agoWell everyone here is literally remarking on it . . .
