I wonder why it's a so common pattern here that everytime someone shows their product, someone in the comments will show their own version in a not-so-implicit patronizing tone

Think about HN posts as a lightning rod for communal discussion rather than a pure show-and-tell and it makes more sense.

Possibly because rurban is very consistent about showing up to C topic threads, mentioning his own work, and using that kind of tone.

it's only common for normies (ok, I guess that is a lot) to expend too much energy looking for emotional content. Just pay attention to the facts, here's a library/framework, here's another library/framework. See? now you know about two. Want emotion? ok, one guy seems proud of his, another guy maybe too proud of his? So what, you be the judge, look at the code.

that is very emotional of your part using borderline insults

You don't need to spend any energy looking for emotional content when it's very face front ego inflated "mine is better" without any constructive feedback.

I personally love that. Sometimes you'll find gems among all that information.
