> And what's with this HN pattern of acting all innocuous and going "uh... care to elaborate a little further? hmm?? hm???"

The 'pattern' is that comments are supposed to provide some value and not just generic statements. The HN community overall doesn't want the comment section to turn into a Facebook comment style section.

So if you're going to comment, at least have something to back it up or give something that contributes to the quality of the discussion.

Ironically they posted, 2 days ago..

"Cool story but at least try to give some argumentation when you say stuff like:

>The design of the language in Dockerfile is ad hoc in a bad way. It’s difficult to understand, for me, and easy to make mistakes.

Because that reads like a skill issue to me"

If you advertise/recommend something it is your obligation to make the case for it. Not for the reader to research it. We should want this board to keep its high information value, not devolve into low information spam.

Recommendation to research something still can be useful. I didn't word it right. It should have been something like: "Add it to your list and research it if you're out of options". It helped me with some weird condition years ago which could have been depression but it had zero symptoms other than severe chronic fatigue, so maybe it wasn't.

The comment they were criticizing had basically nothing to do with the video. Aim your own critique upstream because that's the source of the problem.
