My opinion ;-)

That's what HN is for

It's quite well-supported on here, that's for sure.

Somewhere there's a site for "hackers" where it isn't, and I hope I stumble across that site at some point.

Do add "in my opinion" or prefix with "I think", because your definite wording implied you were stating a verifiable fact. Telling opinions like they are facts and then backtracking with "oh but it was just my opinion" is a big problem in (online?) society / discourse, and has led to a lot of misinformation and anti-scientific takes spreading.

"The earth is flat" - "Can you prove it?" - "Oh it's just my opinion". It's dishonest.
