- rubyfan 4y agoI couldn’t even get through it. I sort of hate Twitter threads. Lost are the days of making your point in 140 characters or less.
- expanseoftrees 4y agoHaha I created an account just to agree. There’s no content to this twitter thread. I think he’s anti mainstream? That’s his signal?
- smt88 4y agoI've never seen an interesting point that could be made in 140 characters or less. That limit works for jokes, headlines, and almost nothing else. Single-tweet "wisdom" always turns out to be something so broad/unqualified that it's uninteresting or untrue. VC Twitter is basically a deluge of that kind of faux-profound nonsense.

True, but Twitter threads are the Burma Shave signs of the tech-gentsia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave https://www.legendsofamerica.com/66-burmashave/2/ https://www.legendsofamerica.com/66-burmashave/2/
- scrapcode 4y agoAt first I found it surprising to start finding all of these Twitter threads making it to the front of HN and thought "well, it must be a really compelling message..." Now I just ignore them altogether. It is a very distracting medium for the longer posts, and that distraction shows through from the writers side as well.
- alcover 4y ago> hate Twitter threads Me too. They are absurd, hard to read and a waste of resource (load time, requests, steaming pile of JS). They sould be penalized/barred.
- Gigachad 4y agoSums up the majority of whinging about JS you see online. I’m confused what “the front end community” even is.
