> Unless you can somehow provide some arguments against it,

We're year 4 into this discussion and camps have only gotten more bifrucated. There's no 1-1 discussion to have about this as of now, at least not before the crash.

Your only hope in such discourse is not trying to convince the other party how wrong they are, but appealing to an as of yet undecided party. Be it with reason, or simply pointing out how absurd some comments sound to the average person.

I don't care about convincing anyone, the ones I reply to or others, but if you take the time to leave a comment, at least make it something to read and think about instead of soundbites like "This is astrology for devs", it's plain boring to read and makes HN worse.

That's fine. Others will care for you.

>it's plain boring to read and makes HN worse.

I chuckled at the joke. Surprising amount of layers to it.

Though I never strove to be a comic nor writer, that kind of terse, compact punch makes me envy those of such literary talent.
