Wow. Dominik, if you're reading this, you should know that this is unacceptable language.


Changed it. Sorry for this!


The more general phenomenon was analyzed and described far better (and without calling some other designer a faggot) by This American Life's Ira Glass, summarized as "your taste is why your own work disappoints you":

iduuck you should be ashamed for your casual bigotry, and additionally your pushing your casual bigotry out to the HN Community.

> “Hey! You can do this better than this faggot!”

I am sorry if beavis and butthead are still your role models for acting like a decent human being to everyone. There is no acceptable "fag means bad" meaning anymore. It's all bigotry


I'd say, staying unsatisfied is a trait of a great person. The smartest people I know don't settle for being however good they are at whatever they do. Instead, they're constantly striving to improve.


Dominik, when you zoom in on an iPhone the top-right mountains logo and text covers the post.


Will fix this tomorrow. Thanks for reporting!
