Unless you can somehow provide some arguments against it, I feel like you're the one who is trying to cargo-cult stuff here.
Say what you will with proper reasoning or arguments if you feel compelled, tired reddit-commentary like that helps no one.

We're year 4 into this discussion and camps have only gotten more bifrucated. There's no 1-1 discussion to have about this as of now, at least not before the crash.
Your only hope in such discourse is not trying to convince the other party how wrong they are, but appealing to an as of yet undecided party. Be it with reason, or simply pointing out how absurd some comments sound to the average person.
I don't care about convincing anyone, the ones I reply to or others, but if you take the time to leave a comment, at least make it something to read and think about instead of soundbites like "This is astrology for devs", it's plain boring to read and makes HN worse.
That's fine. Others will care for you.

I chuckled at the joke. Surprising amount of layers to it.
Though I never strove to be a comic nor writer, that kind of terse, compact punch makes me envy those of such literary talent.
What joke?
Hopefully it's understandable now, and hopefully you don't disagree :)
> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills
And please, do better next time!
What is this place for? Dang tells us, curious discussion. The guidelines explicitly state that certain comments are not in the spirit.
But the community seems to have decided otherwise, which is a shame.
I don't mind the downvotes, the points aren't really the reason I'm here anyways, I just want fun and interesting discussions with people and read other's perspectives, the points don't hinder that :)
