And yet, I never encountered any of those other posts. I bet that's true for most HN readers.

But, suit yourself. I just think you'll get higher engagement if you put your best food forward by helping newcomers understand what this thing is. But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

I'm biased, because I already know what tinygrad is, but there's a link to the main github page for the repo at the top of the page. There's "get higher engagement" but there's also "readers here aren't drooling morons and know what a github is and can click on the link to the repo and find the README.md". But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Is "readers here [ARE] drooling morons and [DON'T] know what a github is and [CAN'T] click on the link to the repo and find the README.MD" the only other alternative? There's no middle ground? There's no "readers here aren't drooling morons and know what a github is and can click the link to the repo and find the README.md, but they're also busy and their attention is limited and so some of them won't be bothered to take those extra steps to learn about your project if you can't be bothered to put your best foot forward, and it's not a moral failing on either side, it's just the way it is"?

fair.
