It's not really about reading HN getting you fired, it's just about perception management. People walk behind my desk. I'm salaried and so free to manage my time, but some people like the CTO are kind of peep-ey. I'd rather minimize the number of times someone who might care walks by and I'm doing something non-worky. Once a bad perception happens, it's hard to counteract it, so it's better to just work a little to manage it. If I have something I can use to kill time while I'm blocked on something, while not worrying about how it looks, I kind of appreciate it.
