As an EU poster, I won't understand the US obsession with large vehicles and I will recommend bicycling instead. As a programmer, I think we can improve performance if we multithread, containerise, microservice, and store n-depth JSON in a No-SQL database. As a Python programme…

It's missing a top-level post which makes an analogy, which turns into a ten-deep thread of people arguing entirely about the analogy, the friendly article having been completely forgotten.

I posted before on HN about this trend, of commenters often completely forgetting about the original article, and arguing a lot (in child comments) about some top-voted comment.

Since it was missing there I realized how am I overusing '[-]' instead of scrolling. Like Tarzan swing on vines. (Also is this relavant or am I just piggy-backing your top comment?)

Kinda relevant, because [-] doesn't work with JS disabled. :-P
