Yeah, reading it again it sounds far bitchier than initially intended. Thanks for the response

I was writing the comment very stream of consciousness and not really think about how it may come across

If I were trying to boil down what I’m attempting to communicate, it would be 1. The project seems cool, but it’s also making some very strong claims that I’m hesitant to accept

2. The coolness of the thing is undermined by the presentation of it. It comes across as putting the cart is put before the horse, and the overly strong claims and marketing speak read as trying to rhetorically sway the audience rather than engage with them technically.

3. I genuinely am happy that the creator made this, but modulo the above worries I think it should be reeled in a bit. In part because of the concerns I have about the content, and further because it is the kind of language that I expect others to have a strong averse reaction to. Possibly to the point of also reaching the top of HN with their negative response

To a friend, it might be easy to capture some of this message with “you sounds sus af”, but to a stranger in the internet I see how I just sound like a jerk. Words do matter, and I think I’ll be more careful about this in the future
