I had to stop reading after the insinuation that Hacker News comment sections are filled with trash. To the contrary, I find that half of the time the comments sections are more thoughtful and enlightening than the article posted. Very regularly I read the comments first to see if the post is worth diving into.

Yeah, that's where I knew something was wrong. There are some very genuine and useful conversations that happen in the comments at HN. They aren't universally awesome, but when I see something linked, I frequently jump straight to the comments to see the thoughts of the HN users.

I read it and was like: "Blunt words", let's see how long he and his start-up are going to survive in the jungle.

Free and open source. ;)

Fair enough, I shouldn't have made that assumption. It doesn't change the fact that this is marketing from someone trying to sell their own product.

Guilty as charged, although, I would love to see what percentage of HN traffic is someone selling their product. My guess is that it's well over 50%.
