This was (sort of) funny 5-7 years ago.
Meta: Stuff like this doesn’t really fit in HN imho. Besides being low effort it just feels weird to read things like this on a site literally called hacker news. I feel like someone misspelled “tired techies complaining about the same thing over and over again”.
Is it that much harder to come up with a genuinely funny or constructive answer or, you know, go outside, and touch some grass instead of posting?
- TylerE 4y agoDoes that really hold water when some days half the front page is reposts from years ago? Hardly "news" either
- rpastuszak 4y agoI struggled to find a better way to express what I meant tbf. I want to avoid making general statements re the discourse here, so I try to respond with a specific comment in mind (e.g. the joke above). Otherwise it's just more of the same (depressing) noise. I'm looking for alternatives, but the best I have at the moment is chatting with random people via my Calendly.
- ofcourseyoudo 4y agoProbably about as hard as it is to find a more original phrase than "touch some grass"? Or are you fighting low effort with low effort?
