It might not incompetent to assume the audience is not very discerning


OpenAI is currently getting dunked on, on all major platforms. It is incompetent.


People reading Hacker News are the target audience, and here we are, discerning.


Speak for yourself!

This kind of trade craftsmanship is rare these days but the lessons apply to any kind of productive pursuit.
