>is often critical of current trends

I'm seeing more and more of this kind of article on HN recently. Solid blogger or not, if I had a penny for every "$current_trend sucks" screed posted here and frontpaged, I'd be retiring by now.

Honestly, it gets old hearing people complain about everything under the sun after a while. (And I say this as someone who complains a hell of a lot on his own blog, but then again I've never been posted here..)

Did we really need a breathless blog article to tell us that some infographics suck? Stop the presses!

Isn't the quoted statement from your comment a "$current_trend sucks" statement? I guess you see the need to decry some current trends, just as all of us do from time to time.

Heh. Kind of funny that I didn't see that.

I guess what I was getting at is that seeing the same thing over and over again tends to get old.
