The project simply has "game inspired menu system". OP, probably unaware for what gamify truly means, used this term. That said a gamified system monitor will've been quite funny project to see. "Achievement unlocked: Run out of memory!"

- linhns 1y agoTitle should be a textbook example of language misuse.
- bragr 1y agoThe poster appears to be Indian from their HN profile. How about we extend some grace for a slight misunderstanding of the nuances of a term that isn't particularly common in day to day discussions?
- earthnail 1y agoI see your point, but I think the anger comes from the fact that 1. the title was unneccessarily editorialized, 2. the word gamified is used wrong here, and 3. There was never any good reason to add the word gamified to the title, other than adding a buzzword. The feedback people give is probably a bit harsh, but I find it understandable. If you don’t know what a term means, don’t use it - especially not if it’s completely unnecessary as in this case.
- vismit2000 1y agoAgreed. Shouldn't have used the term without proper understanding as it gives a totally different meaning in hindsight. Sorry for that

- vismit2000 1y agoExactly. Apologizing for poor choice of words (English not being my first language). TIL what "gamification" actually means.
