Evidence of why I tend to lurk on HackerNews. Some of you lot are insufferable sometimes.

Agreed. This tendency has been really noticeable lately. No constructive criticism, no insight or analysis. Just pure negativity.

I really think that what OP did is great and very few people could have done something similar.

Some of the insanely pretentious people on here drive me crazy. It's like the guy who sat next to you in class and always derailed class with someone inane humblebrag or argument with a professor or classmate.

It's like a lifelong inferiority complex that manifests as the need to constantly promote yourself and never be happy for anyone else.
