Yes its the typical attitude than gives HN users a bad name. And this particular comment doesn't seem to have done beyond surface level research either on his investment works. Maybe not even surface level. Too much confidence too little works just empty words.

Except, this complexity isn't saving time and resources. This complexity admiration culture has resulted in slower code thats harder to understand, debug and maintain too. What should be used only for small amount of time is used from get go like complex architecture and deep abstraction. Fetishizing simplicity is bad too for sure but a blip on a radar and not such a trend and far less of an issue compared to fetishizing complexity thats rampant. Not a game dev or even a gamer, I'm defending attack on simplicity not blow or muratori.

Yeah my go to for youtube still. Working as good as ever for that so far.

A year or two ago when I first read about it, I saw in the software faq, or maybe it was a post by its creator on HN itself or reddit, that they will make it paid once it reaches stable version(version 1?).
