Hacker News Reader

I'm shocked to see a post of such low quality on hacker news. It reads like an instagram post or twitter replies. I'm not familiar with "theregister.co.uk" but I honestly think it's the lowest quality article I've ever seen on this website

Then you're not qualified to be discussing software or the tech industry, frankly.

Or we're in an era where that sneering prototype for clickbait blogs is being rightly consigned to the dustbin of history.

When faced with a link to an article on The Register, searching for the source it's been copied from is a good first step.

I never go out of my way to look for their articles, but their shtick is mildly amusing and they seem like an institution. As long as they are at least a bit different from the rest of the tech press, something would be lost if they went away.

You seem toxic with this completely unnecessary gatekeeping attempt. I bet working with you is a joy. Let me put it to you this way, if your concept of competency in this industry is driven by knowledge of tabloids and not actually skill and talent in engineering, then I'm willing to bet you lack the latter two and rely on the former to fake it.
