Also Nerd Sniping[0] should be avoided, although that slips through the cracks here on HN. A form of Cunningham's Law[1]

hackernews as a whole is one giant barrage of nerdsnipes.

at least i come here for the discussion of interesting problems. sure sometimes i wonder, like, should i really have spent the time to comment on wobbly walls in britain? was that question i posed a nerdsnipe? maybe, but then so was the whole article.

It's not nerd-sniping. It's nerd-shooting nerd-fish in a nerd-barrel.

This is an interesting take as I am on this website precisely to be nerd-sniped and I don’t really feel alone in that aspect.
