I genuinely want to understand how they arrived at the claim that this was a fluffy marketing piece. Like, if you said on a different thread, "the Linux kernel is probably mostly written in Pascal", I would really want to understand how it was you got to that idea.
Rando here. It gives a signal on the account’s other comments, as well as the value of the original comment (as a hypothesis, albeit a wrong one, versus blind raging).
I don't know. I'm really asking. I have you bucketed in my head in the cohort of "HN commenters who write lots of assembly", so the mismatch between your prediction and the outcome is just really interesting to me.
And now that you know that it isn't, do you feel differently about the logic you used to write this comment?
i am curious, what are you hoping to get out of this comment? will you feel better if they say yes? what is your plan if they say no?
