Oh, It's just a joke (with some meta-ness maybe). I was referring to how HN often likes to cling to some "classics" (like SSH in this case) and how a lot of HNers seem to be against any "web" thing by default.

I don't mean to criticize (or make any statement about it at all), it's just opinions after all. I just wanted to tease a little bit with how this comment includes a lot of HN-isms :P
