Its not like one article would change the behavior of everyone on here.

HN has pessimism in its culture, and most of the best comments are the critical ones.

I find criticism to be much more helpful (usually) than cheers. For what it's worth.

I agree. Mindless consensus is not the way to probe issues and engage in meaningful discussion; contentious discourse is.

I agree, but you don't need to emulate Linus's rants to share criticism. There is a difference between constructive criticism and spreading FUD.
