>I think many people failed to get the message of the author
Consider the opposite: The author didn't properly communicate their intent to the audience. A blog is mostly if not entirely one way communication, and as such the understandability of it is the responsibility of the speaker, not the audience.
This can be learned from and fixed easily enough, but only if one correctly identifies the problem.
- kaba0 3y agoSure, and it is fair to criticize it constructivel. Nonetheless, we should try to look behind the exact content and discuss the topic at hand. I don't see much value in arguing against a straw man.
- lapcat 3y agoLet's be honest about the reality of the situation: Some internet commenters are lazy, careless, and dumb. (Yes, even and especially on HN.) It's difficult to help these people understand, because they don't want to understand; they want to be spoon-fed everything instead of thinking for themselves and putting in a little effort into reading.
- filleduchaos 3y agoThe sentence immediately following the list of "cons" is quite literally "But all of these things are not a problem". If a reader couldn't be bothered to read that far, I don't think I can place all blame on the author for not "properly" communicating their intent to the audience.
