I enjoyed the article and then came back to read the comments and found this sort of insulting.

Just because something is detailed doesn't mean that it's hand-holding. It's interesting to see how other people think.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be insulting. I thought this was a little basic for the HN crowd so I wanted to make sure I left a disclaimer to that effect so people didn't think I was being condescending by explaining every little detail. I guess it backfired.
