Terrific writing. Just terrific. Copied verbatim:

  The Lindy effect in software The longer a tech has been around, the more robust it is seen as compared to more recent ones, we often talk about a technology’s maturity The C language SQL has been around for a while, https://antonz.org/fancy-ql/ JS libraries seem to come and goes

I somehow missed the sarcasm and went to read the article. Was a bit confused for a minute there..

Still better than AI, it has personality and not paragraphs of empty prose

Probably not, given that "terrific" was almost certainly used sarcastically here.

I just realized my article was shared on HN (wasn't aware of the visite spike until 7 days later).

Will work on the writing, I truly agree that my writing isn't the best. Thanks for pointing it out.
