The fundamental problem with HN and fun little competitive games like this that show you how you stack up is that the comments will be full of people complaining/nitting about the grading/system/etc. because the typical HN commentator is often the type of person who doesn’t take being not great at something well.


Yeah the OP made a really interesting project. Turns out I was absurdly over confident in my predictions which surprised me but I found OPs grading to be fair and would not complain about it.


Why can't HN just be "full of people complaining/nitting about the grading/system/etc" without you assigning some "lack of character" meaning those people?

Your comment as it stands right now is basically a thinly veiled ad-hominem.


occasionally interesting discussion arises around the grading system, but yeah, often a lot of grousing
