> Your only hope in such discourse is not trying to convince the other party how wrong they are
I don't care about convincing anyone, the ones I reply to or others, but if you take the time to leave a comment, at least make it something to read and think about instead of soundbites like "This is astrology for devs", it's plain boring to read and makes HN worse.
>I don't care about convincing anyone
That's fine. Others will care for you.
>it's plain boring to read and makes HN worse.
I chuckled at the joke. Surprising amount of layers to it.
Though I never strove to be a comic nor writer, that kind of terse, compact punch makes me envy those of such literary talent.
