This was the first time I've seen that annoying cAsE meme on HN and I pray it's the last. It is a lazy way to make your point, hoping your meme-case does all the work for you so that you don't have to say anything substantial.

Or do you think it adds to the discussion?

It indicates a mocking, over-the-top tone to indicate the high level of contempt I have for my originally-stated paraphrase (and the people who have caused software dev decisionmaking to be that way). So yes, I think it does add to the discussion.

It's annoying to read, so while it does get across the mocking tone, the reaction of annoyance at the author is far stronger.
