I think because computers already require users to read and type Latin letters in lots of other situations, and it's not that hard to learn what a few keywords mean, so you might as well stick with the English keywords everyone else is using.</p>

<p>/ask and /show are sort of HN's version of content/subject silos; posts there can technically appear on the front page but are comparatively less likely to. I imagine they could add a /slop section for AI posts, and then tweak the ranking logic for the main /news page to prevent too many from showing up at once.</p>

<p>Native speaker here: yeah, it's awkward.<p>It's possible to use a multiplier like "10x" or "5x" as a verb like that, but the object has to be <i>the thing being increased</i>, like "productivity" or "sales". And it's usually best to put a word like "the" or "your" in there to avoid confusing it with the case where you're using 10x as an adjective (like in "10x developer" or "10x growth"). So there are a lot of articles and books and stuff with titles like "how to 10x your wealth" and that's fine, but "AI can 10x developers" both sounds kind of wrong and implies that the AI is hiring more developers onto your team.</p>

<p>I don't think the syntactic sugar works how you describe. JSX components actually desugar to something like:<p><pre><code>   <b>{jsx(MyComponent, { attr: "yes" })</b>
</code></pre>
(Previously this function was called "React.createElement",  but these days they have special functions that only the JSX compiler is allowed to use.) The extra layer of indirection is needed to do things like support hooks being called inside of MyComponent's function body, keep track of `key` props, and so on.</p>
