alt Hacker NewsVery very tangential, and at the risk of down-votes, the recent trend of X-articles (or whatever they call them) is extremely irksome. When I try to view on mobile it takes 3-4 hops to get to the article, and the articles always look hyper-optimized for engagement with low-attention-span readers, sort of like LinkedIn posts.
Also there's irony in the stark contrast between this x-article and the Bellard's own website.
It's a bit sad that people who are already big VIPs in the tech industry feel the need to spend time writing such tweets, or even worse, hire a PR firm to do it. It's usual for celebrities with the same net worth from other industries, but to me it feels weird.
