Or maybe it’s reflective of the industry we’re in.

I see a lot of positive comments when good things come out, for example.

Setting aside the usual “do we really need to talk about every rust conversion” comments, nearly every rust article is followed by praising the language.

Or when there’s a new software people might enjoy using.

Many of the newer startups also get very positive comments.

I remember Product Hunt is like that, you are highly encouraged to only leave positive comments, so much that now I don't even read them or even visit the site because I know no constructive criticism will even be said, it's just all praise for every little thing.

Maybe exercising to find positive things and describe them out loud would be a quality of life improvement.
