A friend told me my post was gaining some momentum on HN and I've read through the comments and found a bunch of good insights.

I especially liked the one from @arach: "this feels like language from another era", which I hope means it's evident my post was written by someone who loves the craft and refrain from prompting an LLM for "a blog post on topic X".

I also try to decide whether I side with the numerous people who want to sort development task into either trivial or novel. Someone wrote that if we break each issue down to its components, the above holds, but idk whether the developers who does not want to estimate are keen on doing such a rigorous breakdown of each feature.

Regardless, super fun to read all the comments. You have already found my blog and feel free to connect in any way as you see fit (or not at all).
