This is a HN pattern as old as the hills. If the headline invites bikeshedding, most people will bikeshed. If the article is long and complex, almost no one will read the article. This one has both.
- Aeolun 5y agoTo be fair, I read it, but not all the way to the end. This was almost a novel.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoBecause I’m a writer, I’m going to be a bit pedantic here. Novels start around 50,000 words and usually take several hours to read. ;)
- Aeolun 5y agoNovella then? Guess that’s still not quite what the article is, but it’s a bit hard to get through in one sitting.
- Dylan16807 5y agoHuh? It's not bikeshedding to focus on a particular subtopic.
