Have you ever created something which requires somewhat esoteric knowledge to create and understand, and then you show it to someone who doesn't have that knowledge, and you find yourself disappointed with their reaction, and disappointed that they don't understand enough to know that they don't understand? Made up example:
"Hey look, I designed a CPU and created a basic computer and wrote an OS...it's basic I know but..."
"Can it run Call of Duty? Xbox is better"
"That's not the...point...nm"
That's what this thread feels like. Except I would have expected HN commenters to have enough insight to know that they don't understand enough to be commenting.
