To be fair, the headline could have been better worded. The convention for something like this is

“Show HN: Title of Repo”

I could understand how one might not understand what the aim of this post was. Maybe the ensuing conversation could have been handled better, but I would certainly include the parent comment in that indictment.

I agree it always been pretty implicit part of the culture. Just never seen someone so virulent and blunt about it lol.
