All of that said, and I mean this kindly… I think there is an aspect of your comment that comes off dismissive, which is an implicit why did you choose X instead of Y? that a novice programmer likely couldn’t be expected to answer meaningfully. OP articulated very clearly what problem they set out to solve (impressively so! much more effectively than many Show HN submissions from seasoned devs). They also explained clearly how they used an existing tool designed for solving similar problems.
It’s certainly possible they will benefit from learning about different techniques to address some aspects of the problem. But an interrogatory introduction to why those alternatives weren’t chosen can be rather intimidating.
One of my challenges when it comes to autism is I accidentally ask interrogatory or aggressive questions when I'm genuinely curious about someone else's reasoning and trust they know what they're doing. Would "I'm wondering why you made design choice x because I thought design choice y would be a better option because I thought y is better for these reasons" be a good way to ask what the reasoning is?
