Does it even matter?

Perhaps I am jaded but most if not all people regurgitate about topics without thought or reason along very predictable paths, myself very much included. You can mention a single word covered with a muleta (Spanish bullfighting flag) and the average person will happily run at it and give you a predictable response.




It's like a Pavlovian response in me to respond to anything SQL or C# adjacent.

I see the exact same in others. There are some HN usernames that I have memorized because they show up deterministically in these threads. Some are so determined it seems like a dedicated PR team, but I know better...


I always love checking the comments on articles about Bevy to see how the metaverse client guy is going.


The paths are going to be predictable by necessity. It's not possible for everyone to have a uniquely derived interpretation about most common issues, whether that's standard lightning rod politics but also extending somewhat into tech socio/political issues.
