This post really exemplifies what HN is today: People oohing and aahing on a blog post that makes a mountain out of a molehill and ultimately complicates the issue rather than addressing it elegantly.

I understand I'm not really bringing anything to the conversation by saying this, but can we really not do any better than this?

On the other hand, posts like this make me really glad I'm leaving software for good, what with the industry just amounting to smelling one's own farts now.
