A couple contenders off the top of my head:

1. Defending pseudoscience (as long as it’s related to nutrition and exercise)

2. Disgust with “marketing people” and anyone with an MBA

3. Hating “woke” culture

4. Justifying piracy



5. Decrying any attempt at not just stuffing every feature on the screen as dumbing down and wasting space.

6. The general decline of macOS with every new release. It’ll be locked down and turned into iOS any day now, just you wait.


I can't think of the last time I've seen an app even remotely cluttered where calls for simplification/decluttering were called for (and the changes made sense)

While the opposite, dumbing down and minimalism for it's own sake is a way more common occurrence (think: not showing MB/s when copying/downloading files, etc)


Surprisingly, a lot of HN visitors come from Somali.


These all seem like high priority virtues so it’s nice that you think HN feels similarly about them.


5. Smugly thinking they’re very clever
