Here's a comment from dang. Someone made a good, technical, submission. For a while the highest comment was about the design of the blog. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9238739 > A reader emailed to complain about how this and other HN discussions often become derailed by off-topic carping about blog design. I agree completely. Could there be a more classic form of bikeshedding? It would seem parodic if it weren't sadly real. This has become more of a thing on HN lately. It needs to become less of a thing. > I don't mean to pick on you personally, or just on this one comment. (Your second sentence alone, by the way, would have been a helpful contribution.) The problem is the tedious stampedes such comments spawn. This submission is a bit different because the design of the page is the thing being submitted, but I'm aware that I too easily make comments about the design of the page rather than the content of the page. Some design choices are weird and prevent people from being able read the content and I wish there was a way to provide that feedback without derailing a thread.
