Great piece.
Last year, I forced myself to release something every two weeks
Out of habit I tend to check the comments here before reading the article, and um... I did a serious double-take between the title and your opening sentence. For about a second I just stopped and stared at the phrase, “even if it wasn’t finished” and just thought, “Wow... here’s a guy with high standards!”
Anyway, then I read on, sighed, chuckled, and read the (very good) blog post.
- drilldrive 8y agoI reread your comment about five times and still am not sure what you are saying here, my apologies.
- wooboo 8y agoThe commenter took the post title literally/without context and applied that literal understanding to the top level comment.
- lazugod 8y agoThe title mentions masturbation and the top commenter said they forced themself to release something, which could be read as an euphemism for masturbation.
- m3at 8y agoHe misunderstood that the masturbation was not purely intellectual
- CreepGin 8y agoWell I guess it's not everyday you see "Masturbation" in a HN #1 post's title and the sentence "I forced myself to release something every two weeks" in the first top comment.

- Chris_Chambers 8y agoThere should be a rule on HN against flaunting the “amusing” way in which you misinterpreted something. This isn’t reddit.
