Re:It Is Not Flat Design. It's Just Proper Design on Saturday May 25, 2013 @08:35AM (#5767072)
I try to stay out of Design-related posts on HN, especially ones that mention 'Flat' or 'Skeuomorphic'. Everyone suddenly turns into Dieter Rams mixed with Jonny Ive.

Although I don't love/hate this post either way, the comments in here for the most part are just awful, classic HN middlebrow dismissal at its best mixed with a spattering of ad hominem.

The author of the parent comment set up his own 'experiment' on the roof of the school that was planned to go off at graduation. I am assuming it was nothing malicious but something 'fun' like fireworks.

Unfortunately for the author, another student climbed the roof and discovered the 'experiment'. He reported it to a gym teacher, who was suspicious of what is was and subsequently called the Bomb Squad, therefore spoiling the graduation 'surprise'.
