I can't believe HN has changed so much that we are now mocking people for not hardening their blogs against traffic spikes. The comment used to just be "hugged", but now, if the author has anything critical to say about AI, it's this same snarky, elitist quip every time. There are two of these up at time of writing, with multiple agreeing replies, all petty, all demeaning.
I know we're not supposed to complain about HN "changing", but, shit, it really hurts.
I mean, this is also Martin Fowler, a luminary in the field. His site should be able to handle the HN hug of death, particularly if he's bashing the latest-and-greatest tools. As is, he looks like an old man shouting about cars being bad while his horse drops dead at the side of the road.
I personally don't see the correlation between what he's been saying about AI and his blog site's reliability requirements. It's a blog, not some high availability service.
Also, was Henry Ford asking for regulation because his cars may destroy our civilization as we knew it?
