Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

agreed. we’ve veered a bit too close to slashdot’s tone on this one.

with that said, I’m also acutely aware of the tactics that programming.dev reply guys use to generate these kinds of responses. to our guests: it’s best to take your questions about database best practices literally anywhere else but here.

I wasn't actually aware of this, and will be taking note of it in future. for my part I tried to make my reply "uhh go look at $x and learn" post without, y'know, overtly making things into a not-meant-for-here debate setup, but that didn't seem to have worked out entirely well :)
