Please don't post joke comments on HN.

  Please don't assume what we all want to see on HN.

    Well, to counter your point, HN rules are not about what everyone wants to see. It's about the desire to maintain a certain quality to the discussion.

      I see nothing in the rules like that.

  Given that your comment history is primarily an anthology of throwaway one-liners, I'd go easy on casting those stones.

    If you detect the sarcasm then it's all perfectly consistent.

    Did you spend time thinking about me? I like that.

  There's a difference between s#%*posting (frowned upon) and irony made with the potential to spawn thoughtful discussion. In this case, the joke is a sarcastic way of asking "does the thesis generalize to modern knowledge work?" So please don't post comments pretending to know the intent of someone else's post.

    And to be fair, I am likely going to be working on some new software projects that I wouldn't work on in the office, where I will be interrupted constantly when I'm not in meetings.
