  I mean it's not really as hominem is it? I'm not arguing the point at all. I just mean that invoking a controversial like Thiel for something as reasonable as discussing the merits of server side rendering is a very odd choice.

        We both know that on HN in 2023 Thiel is much more despised than Stalin.
