You haven't been around for long enough or just aren'y cynical enough, I went to bed knowing that there would be at least 5 more posts about it in the morning
Yeah, standard procedure is
1. "X is stupid" post
2. "But I like X" posts
3. "X is stupid, but I like it anyway!"
If it's anything like the "Email is dead" one, we've got some more coming. We need at least two arguing for Crockford (one with a liberal amount of "hipster" name-calling), someone arguing for @fat, and @fat eventually explaining himself (because it would be a cold day at Oracle before Doug Crockford said anything other than "you suck").
If I see people errantly slinging around "hipster" for any reason, let alone to pettily attack people who prefer a certain style, well, I'm going to be even more annoyed than seeing more god damned "email is(n't) (the best thing/going to screw your mother)" posts.
And you thought one of those five would be from JS's inventor, participating in this thread? I didn't expect that -- makes me feel HN is still a great resource.
