Everything on HN is just "hey, learn to use this complicated complex thing - in just 30 minutes! You'll be so productive with all your creative startups!"
"Learn VIM essentials in this blog post!"
"Never bother reading 'man curl'!" "Learn the basics of C in three easy steps!"
Sometimes HN feels like a lifestyle magazine for people who dream of being PG.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I too dream of having the same succes as PG. Why else would I be writing here?
- skeletonjelly 14y agoWhat's your criticism exactly? What kind of content would you personally like to see more of?
- fromhet 14y agoNone, merely an uneasy feeling. If you ask me personnaly, I really enjoy articles about something technically extraordinary that OP made/wrote about, amongst other things.
- dschobel 14y agoAlso not sure what your complaint is. Working at the right level of abstraction is fundamental to being a good engineer.
- fromhet 14y agoThere is no criticism really, I agree with you. But was just feeling uneasy and vented it. I welcome downvotes to my GP comment.
