"I've said it before and will say it again: Repeating yourself is what effective teaching is all about.

But, most importantly, you need to say the same thing over and over because most people didn't hear you the first time, and even if they did, the world keeps making more people. If nobody ever reposts or retweets the classics, they rapidly become forgotten."
I don't disagree with you. However, there is such a thing as overdoing it. And I feel that it's just as dangerous to do that as it is to not repeat yourself enough. After all, in saying something too many times, you're diluting your message.
Plus, posting these things on Hacker News is preaching to the choir. The companies that use NDAs probably aren't going to read hacker news. Neither are the "waterfall" developers.
