Only on HN can a light-hearted librarian appreciation post still be treated with heavy cynicism, geez lol

Why is criticism bucketed with cynicism? I led with my appreciation of the good things in the post.

When the day comes that I post something of mine on HN, I will be tremendously disappointed if all of the comments are the textual equivalent of a participation trophy.

Maybe you like frosting on shit, but it's still frosting on shit.

do enough PR reviews and you start think everything is one. alternatively, with the causality reversed, explains why most people are pricks in PR reviews.

If I reviewed PRs like I comment on HN I'd get fired. Know your audience!

Seems like you think PRs are the only place where criticism happens.

Seems like you think everyone is just dying to consume your brilliant critique.
