HN can be conversational, not always a well researched debate. Most of us are over-involved with these debates with coworkers at our day jobs, where we HAVE to spend the energy having productive disagreements.

I appreciate the high quality HN posts, but sometimes just like at a water cooler a bunch of us just wanna say, "agh I'm so sick of object oriented" and it doesn't mean "all object oriented programming is of no use".
