This must be today's "most HN" comment.
- Dismisses a new project that simplifies a task and makes it more approachable to non-technical folks (Like the famous Dropbox comment [0])
- Is extremely pedantic and serves only as a distraction from a discussion
- Argues in favor of pure functional programming
- Misses obvious sarcasm, even when the /s is included.
- tries to come up with an overly precise technical definition of something entirely subjective and unserious.

Can you think of any other community where someone can discuss the damage of a CRT monitor falling into your face with terms like "scale linearly" and everybody just nods in agreement?
I think it's delightful, one of the little pleasures of hanging around here.
And some of the later generation CRTs breached 20" and were a good 30+kg.
Sony's 24" GDM-FW900 was a pretty incredible 42kg.
