Did you create a throwaway account specifically to write a snarky comment here? Looks like this practice is becoming more common.

It also seems to specifically violate HN guidelines:

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

Snarky shallow dismissal ain't sensitive information. It's precisely the sort of behaviour which should be tied to, and reflect reputation of, a primary account.

(Which can of course be pseudonymous, example myself.)

Their account seems too old for that.
