Personal opinion of course, but exactly what I thought. I even tried skipping parts to see if it was going somewhere. It didn't. Tries to sound smart but it's all emptiness. No useful information. Useless anecdotes that fill space. Pretty much resumed by someone describing herself as technophile and technophobe. Tries to sound interesting and smart but totally fails at it.
Respectfully: I feel that you (and her) simply have different needs and likely different neurotypes. "useful information" is sought after by some neurotypes in their foraging. others seek narratives and relational understanding. it's all good. (i'm admittedly disappointed quite often in what feels to me a shallow read of purpose and intention on HN)
Precisely that's why I stated it is a personal opinion.
... and front page of HN.
I found it well-written and interesting, but then again I tend to like the human-interest side of tech rather than reading up on the latest Kubernetes release.
Not to argue, but can you expand on why instead of just saying "this thing sucks"?
