Correct, no one is making an argument against what you said, because everyone understands that point. For most people, it doesn't need to be said. No one is ripping out production infrastructure and replacing it with this image. There's no comment anywhere suggesting it.
What you're doing is called "preaching to the choir". You're trying to be a contrarian to show everyone how smart and mature you are. Yolo, amirite? But not you! You're thoughtful and have experience and know not to do this! You're still running Debian Stable!
But really, this is just a cool Show HN project, posted on a Sunday night, and no one cares about your thoughts on the risk of bleeding edge. So they downvote and move on.
Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That makes this place strictly worse. Crossing into personal attack, which you did here and downthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21308653) is particularly bad and the sort thing we ban accounts for, even if another comment was provocative.
We're really trying to avoid flamewars here, for the same reason that cities avoid flaming buildings. If you'd respect that in the future we'll be grateful.

"Built on the edge, for the edge"
It's pretty obvious it's an experiment.
It's reasonable of the author to assume anyone running serious production infrastructure will be prudent enough to not just blithely go ahead and implement this.
Even if it isn't, you could calmly suggest the author add more warnings to the readme. A project like this is no place for that kind of rage.
> I love the unexplained downvotes
Nobody has to explain their downvotes (and it makes for boring reading when people do). But angrily trashing someone's Show HN experiment is long established as being valid grounds for downvoting.
> A project like this is no place for that kind of rage.
I can assure you absolutely no rage was intended, or expressed, in my first message. Was the comment needlessly snarky? Yes. Was it anything beyond that? Absolutely not, and I would appreciate if this didn't get further blown out of proportion. I already apologized for the form of the comment.
> Sorry if I'm being such a joy killer. I guess I've been witness to too many failures for not feeling to call this out before someone gets burned.
But you didn't do it in a constructive way. You did it in a condescending way to make yourself appear better. Yolo, amirite? You could have had a constructive comment, explaining the level of support of various technologies, their maturity within nginx, etc. All of that would have been beneficial, discussing real world implications of things.
> Oh right, but no one needs to be told to be careful, right... No one is here to learn anything, as we all already know everything. Makes you wonder what's the point of showing something new in the first place.
No, some people need to be told to be careful. You didn't do that, though. You jerked yourself off. Likewise, the point of showing something new is to get real feedback. Again, which you didn't provide.
> And please spare me the "no-one suggested to replace prod infra with this". Does the readme say anywhere "experimental, not for prod use"?
You're the reason the iron needs to say "Do not iron while wearing clothes"
