> Its just trivial problem like centering things in CSS Maybe it’s not trivial for them? How do you know they weren’t trying to learn?
I know centering things in CSS can be a lot harder than it seems.
This is a bit circlekerky and the english is very broken Bit ironic considering running it through a LLM would've fixed the 2nd part
Thanks for the feedback
> Its just trivial problem like centering things in CSS Out of all examples you chose the hardest problem in computer science.

My first language is french so I'm not convinced To me it's mind boggling to not proofread a blog post. Posting it on HN is crazy too I don't mind for online comments and the like but a blog post is crazy
I am not doubting your comment, but personally it did not cross my mind that something is wrong with the syntax or grammar before I read your comment. It is informal, brief and not getting that deep, but it was pretty much understandable for me, and it sets up an interesting point to discuss imo. It could have been more polished but it looks readable enough, and I do not think that a post like this should be flagged…
If you don't speak the language, but make an article like this (and are actively sharing it), the bar is most definitely above "you gotta get it proofread".
I'm quite sure you're going to get a pretty uniform response from non-native speakers across the globe if you are saying that we are poor little creatures and the world should lower this bar

Hey. We're not incapable of effort If you don't speak the language, but make an article like this (and are actively sharing it), the bar is most definitely above "you gotta get it proofread".

I am non-native speaker, so n=1 here. Moreover, I said that I do not consider OP to be such a low bar. It may be informally written, but it did not cross my mind it would have been not understandable to some. I guess opinions may vary on this. Going back reading it I see quite a few obvious grammatical errors, surely they should have spent some effort fixing them before posting it here (nowadays it should be trivially easy to do) but again it is not to the point of not being understandable or hard to read, imo.
