I am broken; apropos of addiction.

  Hey, I'm "broken" too but my addiction involves alcohol and bad girls, at least you are addicted to something sane and educational. And you work at Google, that's awesome.

    could not have gotten the job apart from all that I've learned on hn

  Wow, your account averages almost 24 internet points per day. That is pretty intense. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. I thought I was spending too much time on HN with ~5pts/day. I hope you are able to get it under control (probably meaning kick it all together). My dad had a problem with Tetris in the 90s -- but that was better than the alcoholism he dealt with in the 70s and 80s (30+ years sober now). So, ivanca has a good point that it can be worse. However, there is no doubt that internet/games/etc can be addictive. Good luck.

    truthfully, I use hn as a sort of delicious replacement.

      That's a good thing then!
