I really love the trend of simply restating what an article argues against without addressing the actual article's points.

I had an exhausting discussion on Reddit about why storing UTC is not always sufficient from commenters who continually proved they hadn't read the article or the rest of the the comments.



What about the trend of creating provocative titles, and writing blogs on the mood of: "Everybody at Google or AWS is an idiot but me"?


I'm gonna go with "a hyperbolic, but potentially-necessary corrective to the mass cargo-culting of dev practices only appropriate to global-scale organizations, with a possibly egotistical amount of clickbait self-promotion" on that one.


It doesn't take anybody there being an idiot for the system to be idiotic, unfortunately.
