Then you either need to try it or research it. Other people can't tell you if you like turkey or not.


So we agree people shouldn't write off these posts with "does turkey sandwich sounds good to you" like it's some deep insight to default to the trivial answer?


It's not a deep insight. Neither is the title of the article. It tells the reader nothing and makes the author sound like they have nothing to say.


Does the author have nothing to say or is this just an empty critique of the authors taste for titles?

Because if that's the case, I also don't care for baroque music that much.


Does a turkey sandwich sound good to you?

Yes: okay try it

No: okay you don't have to try it

Unsure: okay you can read about it some more and decide if it sounds good to you


Are we still talking about infrastructure?


I think we’re in a deep debate about how to name articles


The user plausibly isn't asking others to tell him what he "likes" -- a subjective preference -- but rather the user could be asking for objective research and information.


Lol, you should just try to use something you're not familiar with in production. Let's just stop all discussion around things and just let people try everything for themselves. That't the best way for humans to learn. Writing, reading and discussion are so blase'


Does asking people on HN count as "research"? It does in my book. It's not perfect, but then nothing is.
