Wow, this comment has a lot of anger towards someone just doing a post-mortem of the lessons they learned. It illustrates something that I don't understand. Why do you care so much that you significantly affect the tone on this HN dis

Perhaps. But "pretty sure you're making this up" is not an appropriate tone or argument to question validity. Especially when the basis for your argument is your singular person experience. Your never having heard the argu
