Entire generation? It's three people[1]. It seems you personally don't find value in this app, and that's okay, but it's a bit hyperbolic to write off an entire generation over it. There are most assuredly people who are doing more than getting people to click on ads and writing airport pickup apps.

- incision 14y agoYes, that's right, the parent literally meant that an entire generation - millions upon millions of people without exception are dedicating themselves to precisely this cause. I think it's pretty clear what he means and there's plenty of room to argue against that, no need for this kind of post.
- itafroma 14y agoIt's a rant about how nobody does anything important anymore and an entire generation has been wasted over a post about a new iOS app made by three people. It's a total non-sequitur: the only thing to argue against is how over the top and off-topic it is. And moreover, it's boring: the complaint could be registered on most of the posts on Hacker News. Not everyone's going to save the world with their work, and that's okay. Tearing down other people's work over some perceived social injustice is not.
