Appreciate your nitpick. As I dislike recipes that introduce you to the fine art of wheat milling before getting to the recipe itself, I tried to keep that section short(-ish). I felt the need to provide some context and thoughts, that's why I included it. Not sure what I'll do next time: Either put the conclusion at the beginning and offer some more context and thoughts at the end (then you can drop out if you don't want it), or just leave it out completely. I'll reflect on that.

When I don't have time, I just ask AI to summarize the main points and expand on the point I like. I do this with even HN discussions. I just copy the whole HN page and paste into Claude and ask it to summarize and deduplicate talking points.

You didn't have to read the article.

OP posted their article on the internet and then to HN presumably because they'd like people to read it.

You can't know that it was a waste of time to read until after you've read it. Especially if the point is at the end, and is a good point.

And you don't have to read the critique.

IP law is incompatible with AI. It's an important point, but not here.
