Hey, the reason I downvoted you here was that you is that you basically just quoted parts from the article and simply added dismissals or small jabs, but little truly constructive, and were kinda rude in the last paragraph. Judging by your other posts you can do better than the easy way out. Do you have something constructively critical instead?
We've banned this account for breaking the site guidelines. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.
It would definitely help if you tell me which rule I broke that made you ban this throw away account in the first place. Without that I think it's more convenient for me to create a new account instead of sending an email as you suggest.
If you'll commit to not doing those things and to following all the guidelines (most importantly this one: Be kind) when posting here, we'll be happy to unban you.
My comment was indeed a little edgy, I have my reasons for that. But the intent was not a personal attack, although I now see that some of the words used were indeed on that edge.
I see in the history of your comments that it is not normal for you to ban an account just right away without any warning. I have no clue why you made this exception for me, I see much worse around on HN. My account was never blocked btw, it's still working. Feel free to try to block it again if you wish so, I won't use it anymore anyways.
I truly hoped I was able to shed a light on things many people normally don't see, the intent was positive but apparently I failed to do so rightly. I am human and cannot promise to always be kind. Therefore this better concludes my contribution to HN. Wishing you all the best.
Harsh, but true. I like your point of view. We often get sucked into latest trendy rabbit hole, where there isn’t much actual value delivered to your business/employer, other than feeding your ego and tinkering desires.
