This is what gives me the warm fuzzies about the HN community: people jumping to wild conclusions about your domain and systems based on a 4 sentence comment. /s

The thing you'll start to notice is this happens A LOT on every subject.
HN tends to think of itself as smarter than the average for every topic. But it turns out there is a lot of bad and factually wrong information in every thread.
Yeah, I know, and I know I've been guilty of it myself at times. It's a trap that's too easy to fall into.
Something about aughts dev culture as well: I remember it being really common back then. Everybody had to appear to be smart by second guessing everything everyone else was doing. Exhausting.
