Yeah I normally take it out, just forgot this time. I don't mind it myself, but try and default to neutral.

This is interesting - normally AMP is great and I'm (generally) a fan of it. But somehow they messed up AMP here - I've not seen that before. The AMP page is really poor (third party blocking, time to paint, even JANK is here - shift after load).

The non AMP page is 1.4MB and 45 requests, the AMP page is 400KB and 16 requests - normally this means AMP just blows everything out of the water (despite HN hate). Something is messed up here that AMP is so poor, initial server response is terrible.
