This is true but wasn't this always the case, rather than a recent development? The comments tend to trend absurdly negative on minor criticism. But I remember the same thing 10 years ago for the releases of dropbox and the like, always some inane complaints that disregard the massive benefits.

Also, yeah, when something isn’t perfect and someone latches onto the how and why it’s such an awful design or decision, how incompetent, I wouldn’t trust my business to someone who operates like this, etc. It can be brutal. I still prefer HN to many other places on the internet, but sometimes critique here is excessively negative and not constructive at all. Even so, it’s not all bad. I wouldn’t post my personal projects here, though.
