If someone writes a post about struggling remotely and someone immediately follows it up with some general observation about how most people who struggle remotely weren’t going to be that great anyway it’s pretty easy for the OP to connect the dots.

It's not "can you connect the dots" but "should you connect the dots."

I can frame just about any comment as an attack in one way or another, but it's not a great idea. For one, it goes against HN guidelines but, more importantly, it just doesn't seem like a very healthy mindset.

I think the fact that OP and others are taking it as a personal attack is at least a sign that we should also be mindful in how we write things.
