I have absolutely no idea how this sort of opinion piece is supposed to be of value to another person on this planet.
Sure - everybody has to learn their own lessons and sometimes it can be helpful to read about another persons journey. In this case, however, the author is still too much in the middle of it and would do good giving it some more time, then digest it, then look back and reflect and maybe THEN write about it. Reports from halfway through an experiment do make for good blog fodder (and a post about going BACK to Coldfusion sure gets attention), but most of them, as this one, leave me very unsatisfied.
So sure - go write stuff like that into your blog, but I think only the blog post at the end of the series is what should be submitted here.
- j45 15y agoI'm new here, but could we say many ASK Hn's are opinions disguised as facts?
- skore 15y agoI'm not exactly sure what you mean. I'm not an old-timer on HN, but what I do know is that opinion for opinions sake is treated with very harsh scrutiny and I enjoy the site for particularly that. Ask HN's may be slightly softer on that rule and since this years 'eternal september' there have been a lot of new people who don't understand the rule in general - yet, but the crux is this: This is not reddit.
