I'm tired of criticisms on tone in place of discussions on substance.

Sounds like you're hating on hating.

I love both your comments.

But to dig further, compared to the article, op's comment not only comes off as laid back, as opposed to aggressive and anxiety-inducing, but it also provides an alternative all in the same sentence.

Better title: "How I personally think hackathons can be done right" but that's really not as catchy. Hate and outrage drives clicks.

I dont really think that accurately summarizes the article. The article doesn't really suggest improvements, just talk about things the author dislikes.

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that. Can't find solutions if you don't understand the problem.

I like your comment

To add some praise on this topic, I like (in no particular order): - having dedicated no-meeting days to work on stuff I'm paid to build - being able to talk vision with my PMs (and be listened) - having a budget for software maintenance and developer QoL - not having to do all the software testing on my own - run live experiments with users to test out new ideas

I'm worried about the author. Who forced them?
