If you haven't already, I would encourage both of you to read the guidelines of posting here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Specifically:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. > Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

If you have already read them, treat my comment as a reminder to be respectful and try to generate stimulating conversation, not wage battles.
