> HN has made me more arrogant when it comes to IT discussions. I’ve always been rather conservative in these types of discussion, even to the point of leaving a conversation to verify things I’m already confident about. But I’m just floored at the absolute confidence of things people will say despite them being trivially refuted. I saw someone ask for help configuring some ASP.NET application on IIS and this other person with the utmost confidence told them to abandon IIS because it “had a lot of CVEs” and when asked for an alternative provided an FTP server.
