Ironic that you refer to the guidelines.
The first paragraph of said guidelines reads:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
And yet, the original submission was just another version of the trope I used AI to boost my productivity 10 fold, and it was all roses and butterflies.
After the n-th iteration of the same self-congratulating, hype-pushing, AI-generated drivel, the point can be made that the original submission does not meet the HN guidelines.
To quote Jimmy in South-Park: it's an ad.
- tomhow 1y agoIf the article isn't fit for HN, people can flag it, and if they really want to, they're welcome to email us at hn@ycombinator.com to point out what's wrong with it and we'll consider further penalties. Comments like the one I replied too just make HN seem mean and miserable and that's definitely something we're trying to avoid.
