> Many of the comments on this article are so cold. I can’t believe it. When I read the original article I was imagining all the constructive ways HN readers would interpret it and hold a mirror up to their own behaviour. Some commenters are doing this. But it surprises and depresses me how many people are commenting saying “no, this list isn’t what it says it is, it’s a list showing the author has a negative mindset / is not from the Valley bubble, and that problem can be fixed by just getting over it.”. We can do better than that.
I don't see any engagement (in the first paragraph or subsequent ones) with the opinions of the comments (and if I missed them, feel free to point them out), or any effort to entertain the notion that they could have a point.
There used to be a big problem online where people wouldn't consider other people's opposing views. But we seem to have reached the point where people are upset that people even have views that are different from our own.
