I so much agree wih your post. All your advice is right and should help but there is one thing I am wondering:
Why are you on Hacker News?
Reading and in particular commenting which is an instant gratification activity (quick post, many likes paired with non-stop checking of the thread).
Is this not against your advice or is it the end of the work day in your time zone?
- gregorymichael 9y agoMay be that he doesn't follow his own best practices every day. Got to be careful that we don't let that undercut the usefulness of the advice.

- ash663 9y agoOnly to reflect back on this at a later day and head to the river.
- codingdave 9y agoI don't feel HN is about instant gratification at all. I come here to see more about what is going on in the tech community. For me, it is about awareness of what is going on, reflection and analysis of where I currently fit and where else I may want to go. If you are constantly non-stop checking for responses and your scores, that doesn't match what I do. I tend to comment, then come back a couple days later, and see what discussion ensued.

- kerbalspacepro 9y agoHackerNews doesn't have a message notification system, right? You have to purposefully look at your older comments to see what transpired? That's probably one of the saving graces of this community.
- ethbro 9y agoAbsolutely agreed. @dang, please never implement a notification system.
