Maybe it's my autism, but I don't understand what's remarkable about this story. Clearly some people find it interesting or else it wouldn't have made it to the front page of HN. Can someone elaborate?
Stories don't have to be remarkable; this is a parent recording a moment in their and their child's life, something that they might otherwise forget or get lost in the mud of other memories jumbled together. I think it's quite cute.
Well everyone here is literally remarking on it . . .
My reaction was, why not? Why not this post rather than the others that end up here. Much better this than another stupid IPO filing.
I suppose it's like a photo of a distant land. Nothing interesting that you haven't seen every second of every day, if you live there.
Thanks, that's fantastic. I'm also autistic, and yes, this just looked like a transcript of a normal conversation, so I wasn't sure what the draw was. Your explanation cleared that up for me.
