I'm sure you have a point, but making it in the form of a snarky dismissal breaks the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Any good effect from being right is drowned out by the bad effect of being a jerk.

Maybe someone who makes poorer technical choices than you doesn't deserve respect—that seems dubious, but we can argue about it. The community you're posting to, however, certainly does, and by posting like this you're not only disrespecting it but destroying it.

HN is a large, diffuse online community, so the bonds here are inevitably weak. Agitating snark acts as a solvent on those bonds, making the community less cohesive. This is exactly the opposite direction to the one we need. All the default forces already point that way; please don't make them worse.
