I don't know what your expertise is exactly, but if someone new in your subject area intentionally made things more complicated than necessary for the scope of the project and publish it as a public resource for others to take inspiration from and learn from, wouldn't you at least have some sort reaction against it? See it as wanting to advance my own trade by providing opinion on the current "everything should be a serverless function" trends in the hope of hopefully be able to move the trade into a different direction.

If I have no affiliation, or plan to affiliate with a project, why would I give a shit about what they do? It’s their project to figure out. Did they ask you for an architecture review? No. Then don’t backseat architect. It’s as simple as that. Especially when your critique is “you’re doing it all wrong and you should feel bad if it’s not an educational exercise”.

  Do you have any affiliation to me or plan to affiliate with me or my projects? Then why you give a shit about what I write? I'm assuming we two have at least one thing in common, we're here on HN to discuss things we come across, both submission articles and comments, since we're having a conversation right now. That's how this works. So I came across something that I have feeling and opinion about, and that led me to share my opinion about it, as I care about my trade. You're welcome to ignore things even if you have opinions about it, but to request others to do the same in a forum that is meant for discussion, feels a bit unproductive.

  What exactly do you think is the purpose of a discussion forum like this one?
