As the author said, they're not reading this but I couldn't help but try to verify what they're saying is their truth: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=behnamoh https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=behnamoh
Edit: Actually, just filtering for their website: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=medium.com/parttimeben https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=medium.com/parttimebe... This post is the highest comment count and point count that the author has ever received.
I found an Ask HN with 6 comments and one that the author objected to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32242160 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32242160
There's an article on Electron terminal apps (and Microsoft Terminal?) that got some corrections/objections, but nothing obtuse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32360227 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32360227
One article sparked a lively discussion on the security of python -m when the author advocated its use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32156581 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32156581 (this one was just their submission, not their story)
and the author has asked for personal/career advice, to which I saw nothing obtuse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32130535 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32130535
I'm not sure what comments the author is talking about that are "hateful". People on HN can be a bit "difficult" at times, especially if perspectives or experiences diverge significantly. In general, I'll give this advice: When I post, I read the comments but don't engage. Engaging is unhealthy for me and it detracts from the current state of what I wrote (I am the kind of person that will go change my blog posts over time). For others the rule is "Don't read the comments". Personally, I think the author falls in the latter category - and that's not to say anything bad of it, it's just the way some folks are.
