I have found people to attack me when I make a technical criticism of technologies they like.
Am I expected to justify being able to code in HN? I could go on about being a maintainer of the two most promise libraries in npm (bluebird and Q), being node core, organizing promises sessions for APIs in Node core and having over 1000 answers about promises in SO.
I generally find that sort of "non-technical chat" boring compared to the technical stuff and appeal to authority kind of lame.
The only other person attacked in this issue is
aphyr, so I believe I am in very good company in this particular instance.
