        I stopped reading HN a couple of years ago and the increase in my happiness is palpable

        I wonder how it feels to run a website that so many people openly say makes the miserable.

        I don't need HN for that. The people I follow on Twitter do plenty fine.

        I also get to see articles critical of YC companies, HN, and about tech I care about more than HN commenters.

        In my experience novice programmers are quick to dismiss things which make one's life easier because that's not "challenging". (1/2)

        They think what distinguishes a good programmer from a bad one is the complexity of the tools they use rather than the quality of code (2/2)

        The same is true about experienced programmers, so I think it's just "programmers" maybe :)

        Their comments on Discourse this week were hard to read. It's amazing how negative it is there.

        It sucks because there are still gems on there, but I'm not sure the ratio is worth it.

        The negativity is one thing. The dismissal of entire categories of programming whole hog is quite another.

        Remember: computers are a thousand levels of abstractions, but if you don't know the one *I*know best you're not a real programmer.

        I’d argue that’s much more flattering to Rails than they intended
