- paulddraper 3y agoIt's not nice but it is true. "Dur dur this <insert anything here> is just like 2 -> 3." HN had always been susceptible to drive-by ignorant comments, but it's reaching new levels. There's literally nothing of substance to the suggestion. (And if you think there is, present an actual informed argument.)
- insanitybit 3y agoIt wasn't a suggestion, they were asking a question.
- Dylan16807 3y agoOh please. Even if we ignore that any question can have implications, they directly said "someone has to say it". They were explicitly suggesting something by asking that question.
- majewsky 3y agoThey were suggesting that this is a question that is going to be on people's minds, which is very different from suggesting that the answer is yes.

- Dylan16807 3y agoAll I can say is that the phrasing looks quite biased to me and it would have been easy to not phrase it that way. Subtext is hard to prove, but that doesn't make it not real.
- insanitybit 3y agoIt seems to have clearly been a case of "I remember 2 to 3, that was really bad. I imagine everyone else is wondering this - is this going to be another 2 to 3?"
- smcl 3y agoI sympathise with you, I'm a little tired of these same recycled comments every time the Python comes up.
- c-hendricks 3y agoGP would probably be better if they didn't default to snark / derision by calling it cat hearding.
- pdntspa 3y agoBut the python 2->3 migration has been exactly that
- duckmysick 3y agoNo cats were harmed in the migration from Python 2 to 3. Programmers and project managers on the other hand...
- pdntspa 3y agoI would hope they're not hurting the cats that they're herding. That's pretty terrible shepherding
