There’s a difference between explicitly asking for feedback and saying “hey here’s the cool thing I made, check it out!”
HN comments often miss the context of a post and focus on nitpicking or giving unsolicited feedback.
Many of the HN members I met (makers/hackers/students) lurk but rarely post here for that reason.
- pc86 4y agoI saw a quote earlier today that said "Unsolicited feedback is criticism" meaning criticism in the negative sense. If you're someone's close friend, or a close family member, you probably know when and how you can provide unsolicited feedback in a way that it is received well. If you're not (e.g. everyone on this thread) you're just offering criticism - in the negative sense - that was not asked for.
