@dang are we ok with this? This account is basically an automated submission script for this website. Submission history is nothing but. I dont mind people promoting themselves or their work, but i do not come to HN for ad aggregation or an RSS feed.

- dang 7y agoYou should email hn@ycombinator.com to ask questions because we don't see most comments like this. Someone else emailed me about it. Accounts that use HN just to promote their own stuff eventually get penalized or lose submission privileges on HN. People are welcome to submit their own things as part of a variety of stories, including unrelated ones that they ran across personally and gratified their intellectual curiosity. That's the best way to participate in the community.
- richclominson 7y agoHey! It's the submitter here. I actually don't know how to code so I promise I have no script. I just go and share the stuff I publish here because I think that some people may find it interesting and useful as it happened with this interview. From now on, I will be more careful with the amount and frequency of posts I share. Sorry for the inconvenience.
