It's HN comment sections this one that make me really sad.
Like, there's nothing actually wrong with anything the author said or did, but a lot of what I'm reading here is just snark. I can even tell just how little of it many of us actually read, seeing as how he's admitting to privilege yet some know-it-alls still need to point out privilege as if that invalidates the whole thing. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, which is why the whole issue of privilege is a bullshit waste of time.
