@dang, I believe you need a day off :)
But seriously, just in case you're feeling a bit down about HN lately, I really appreciate the work you guys do to make this a good place for discussion. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Well done.
- amingilani 7y agoI just want to echo this as someone who's just asked a question about how this could be similar to MenMake ;) we can be really bad as a community but thank you for the great work you do, dang and sctb.
- dang 7y agoNot feeling down. "Even worse" is a sort of trope I use in such comments (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=2&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20%22even%20worse%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=2&prefix=false&qu...) because I have the feeling that it reduces friction a little bit. I think you're the first user who's ever commented on it!
- DoofusOfDeath 7y ago> I think you're the first user who's ever commented on it! Yeah, well, I'm kind of oblivious sometimes :) But I don't regret taking the time to thank y'all for the work you do, regardless. Rock on.
- dang 7y agoI would say the opposite of oblivious in this case. You caught the hypnotic suggestion :)
- serf 7y ago>I think you're the first user who's ever commented on it! given your authority and status on this site, I wouldn't count on getting honest replies from users. In other words : just because it isn't said doesn't mean it isn't thought. Few people want to be honest and defend their opinion in the face of an 'admin', anywhere. It's potentially self-defeating compared to just staying quiet.
