It appears I have to explain myself better.
You've heard the phrase "read the room"? The OP added this article to HN, a site known for its detail-oriented minds (programmers, engineers, technicians, etc.) or, if you prefer another insult, "rules lawyers".
And then someone complains that these same detail-oriented folks find that some of the details in the article are lacking? And tries shaming them into giving up their detail-oriented ways?
Odd flex.
- kristopolous 3y agoThe issue is some people are quick to dismiss progress especially on technologies with political salience.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y ago> a site known for its detail-oriented minds a site known for a commentariat that is, in aggregate, frequently wrong about details, particularly details that matter. yes, it's great when people who really know what they are writing about show up here. But the great unwashed masses in the comment threads, for all of their fabled "detail-oriented minds" appear wrong at least as often as they are right. "On the internet nobody knows you're an HN commenter with 3 years of JS experience".
