Commenting here to explain how I voted on this comment (since it was unusual): downvoted the comment and agreed with it. I think the point stands that LW often misses things others have done and it’s worth connecting them, but downvoted for being snarky about it. Yes, reinventing things is a thing LW is notorious for, but I personally don’t want to see a social dynamic take hold like exists on sites like Hacker News and many subreddits where people become afraid to post because they’ll get harsh comments.
