And how did any of that relate to "Showing actual improved products and features. Showing actual code. etc." ? It's the opposite, someone says "I'm sick of milk and orange juice all the time, I want some water", and you reply with nothing but offering them a cup of milk.
> random Internet Guy, who can't be bothered to examine my pretty damn extensive open portfolio.
You cannot even be bothered to examine the comment you reply to, maybe get off your high horse.
And the main part of my comment was about something in the common realm, open source software, and hard performance/quality improvements. Not wishy-washy products and features, not yet another tone deaf cool story.
Eh, whatevs. When someone interacts with me, here, even if being unpleasant, I generally check out their profile, first thing. Sometimes, it has changed my opinion of them, and of myself.
For instance, I checked out yours, and there's not much, except a whole bunch of challenging people here. I am wondering if you came here to "set us straight." I know that a lot of folks have low opinions of HN, and not all of them are wrong, but I find this place a fairly good place to hang out. Being challenged, is one of the draws, for me.
By the way, have you tried the new unhomogenized heavy cream? Good stuff!
Have a great day!
> I generally check out their profile, first thing.
Not everyone is you. E.g. I don't expect he answer to "show your work" be no answer and "why didn't you check my profile".
That wasn't my answer.
My answer to "show your work" was "No." I am not going to go through my code, and show a bunch of supporting evidence for a casual comment, in which I have exactly zero investment. I really don't care that much what people think of me. I was just sharing my personal experience. If you guys want to write me off, then knock yourselves out.
"No" is a complete sentence. What part of "No" didn't he understand?
Have a great day!
