This is madness. Some stories actually have good guys. I don't know Adam directly, but we have plenty of second degree connections. I've benefited immensely from his work, have never heard anyone say a single negative thing about him, and I genuinely believe he's done more to push the web forward with Tailwind than the larger players have done (certainly more than Facebook did with React and Google has done with Angular/AMP/etc).
Reflexively assuming that unanimous positive sentiment towards someone is itself an indication of a problem is exactly the reason people are writing posts as recently as (double checks) _yesterday_ titled "65% of Hacker News Posts Have Negative Sentiment, and They Outperform" https://philippdubach.com/standalone/hn-sentiment/ https://philippdubach.com/standalone/hn-sentiment/
- refulgentis 9mo agoNo one said he isn’t a good guy. Just that it was weird to have 15 comments saying “ignore the haters you’re a good guy!” The “madness” here was you replying as if I said he wasn’t.
- GlacierFox 9mo agoI'll be sure to avoid you during a time of crisis...
- refulgentis 9mo agoMay I humbly suggest taking a breath or two? It is extremely taxing mentally to select strangers to tell you don’t trust them in an imaginary crisis. (Especially ones on a tech discussion board! Especially just because they noted there were no negative comments and only fawning ones! Especially when you think fawning feels fine in a crisis!)
- GlacierFox 9mo agoMay I pull you aside and suggest you take a few breaths yourself? If you're finding typing half a sentence on a keyboard taxing, perhaps consider getting some support. This is put forward with all the humbleness.
