This is fairly retarded. It's not hard to make something look foolish when you take a single sentence out of context.

- dsirijus 14y agoI've found most tweets to be really self-contained thoughts.
- thirsteh 14y agoIf those tweets actually appeared in text somewhere on Hacker News, they are foolish regardless of the context they were taken from. Dropping down to node.js to get close to the metal? Come on! Love it.
- Lewton 14y agoNow I'm confused. Is it made up tweets? because I recognized two or three of them from threads I've read
- chris_wot 14y agoYeah, they are real tweets. Except that some of them are from the articles themselves, not the comments. Like this one "services like github and sourceforge are just fads, with very little (I think no) added value."
- itmag 14y agoDropping down to node.js to get close to the metal? It's actually not that strange of a remark, depending on context.
- ibotty 14y agowith what definition of metal again?
