When you hijack someone else’s thread with something unrelated, I find it impossible to trust you enough to get excited about what you did. Smiling faces aside, this is kind of disrespectful to the author.

Whereas with a show HN, I would focus on you and do my best to find something positive to say.

I felt it was related (database + git is quite a narrow scope), and not concurrent to the post (I did not comment on the DoltgreSQL post for instance). But, I admit I was looking for some personal gratification. Sorry it bothered you.
