I get little bursts of joy about 3-5 times per week when I see some low-effort misinformed comments, followed by that brain urge to set the record straight, followed immediately by discovering the fact that someone with specific domain knowledge, experience, or both has taken the time to write a thoughtful reply like this one, educating everyone who reads it.

This isn’t an isolated case: as I mentioned, I see it at least a few times per week and I imagine this happens at least a dozen times a day here in some thread or other.

Thanks for being awesome flukus. I love HN.

I loved to see this from students talking to professors while studying CS. I think it has to do with the ego boost you get from acquiring the "power" to code rising above mere mortals.

Unless you are a psychopath, you will realize later in life, that there are actually other smart people, who might know something you do not. Even though it often times feels like you are surrounded by idiots.

While I disagree with the positions put forward by lolc and flukus, that Librem 5 should have the customer address modelled analogously to some 'fast moving goods' e-commerce implementation, I appreciate their comments for being constructive and actually adding something to the discussion.
