- briandear 11y agoI think they nailed it.. <<<[420 points] Show HN: I ripped off an existing product and added Bootstrap to it >> Anonymous 06/26/15(Fri)22:42:37 No.48696192▶ This is a perfect example of the sort of immature, { misogynistic, racist } attitudes that permeate tech! (followed soon after by) What this actually shows is why more complex factors are at work in explaining why { women, blacks } choose other fields of specialty.>>>

- pierrec 11y agoThe amount of hate in this thread is unbelievable. Why do people nitpick on the author's background, when there are many interesting aspects of the technology to be discussed? OTOH, I don't want to take away from the coolness factor here, and I hate to be that guy, but theses resources ought to be put to better use. People forget that developers aren't fungible resources, and it's just sad to see the problem being swept under the rug like this. Which brings me to the question : why is this even on the front page? It's not even remotely news. It's a linkbaity title that leads to a paywalled, ad-ridden, overloaded page. The scrolling is broken and the font is illegible on my screen. It requires javascript and the irony is that it's not even HTTPS. The article has been posted innumerable times before [0] [1] [2], and the shady author makes a series of misleading, biased, unverified claims. Literally every logical fallacy is on display here, and it doesn't provide any references. EDIT: This new title is even worse. Mods, what's up with the ridiculous title edits lately? EDIT: Why all the downvotes? I'm trying to provide constructive criticism here, but I guess this place isn't the bastion of civilized discussion that it used to be.

- briandear 11y agoIt's interesting how this post hasn't made the HN front page despite having higher points than many of the other stories.
