Tldr: "I was born in South Africa and moved to California just before the start of high school, graduating from the University of California, San Diego in 2007 before working a corporate job in DC that ultimately landed me a sweet gig at Google. My responsibility once there was to figure out how much to pay the company's executives, which meant I was lucky to enjoy face time with many of the top brass.,One of the biggest frustrations of running my music blog was that by the time I took it full-time, I was receiving upwards of 300 email pitches a day from artists, record labels, and publicists, all looking to have their music featured on Indie Shuffle.,Then, toward the end of last year, I decided that a good way to learn some new coding languages would be to try and solve this problem by developing a website to streamline the process."
- jordache 10y agowhat does the google background and details about the job role there have anything to do with this?
- gist 10y agoGoing forward I will upvote almost anything that you summarize that I see. Reading it and the responding comments will be a great time saver.
- bbcbasic 10y agoYou could write a bot for that :-)
- hnsummarizer 10y agoI created a chrome extension that will give you a summary of all HN articles on a page! Check it out http://bit.ly/2eP4NEy http://bit.ly/2eP4NEy and let me know what you think. Open to any/ all feedback.

- rzzzt 10y agoCasual observation suggests that the quoted part is a list of significant outtakes from the article, with the comma separator left intact between items.,It should be replaced by whitespace to make it more convincing.
- sctb 10y ago> It's important for HN to keep its distance from tldr culture. Longer articles are ok, even if many of us won't read them. It's true of any post that most people won't read it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12667459 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12667459

- billmdsf 10y agoHello, it's the face behind the bot :). As some of you have guessed, I wrote an automatic summarizer to provide a little more context to hn articles because I often find myself wanting to know a little more before clicking the link. It makes sense that the HN community would want to push for reading the full article and against tldr culture. This was just a fun little side project I built yesterday, and I’ll be thinking about that and any other feedback I receive before making improvements. Thanks for your comments!
