Uhh... according to your HN user page, you blog at www.tomjen.net, which you just started 12 days ago. That's a pretty short time in which to do a 180.

  Nah, just trying to make a cheap star trek joke, since I am tired of being told that I must do this and that when I just want to write software. Do you really think I keep a blog because I like writing? I don't, but I have seen too many posts saying you must have a blog that I can't disagree with. Doesn't mean I should like it, nor do I intend to keep doing it for long, just until I have a couple hundred articles then I hope that will be enough to point to if anybody asks.

    But to be honest, "seriously, nobody reads on the internet anyway" on a site that is built around reading and discussing articles is a bit strange. Was that meant as ironic too?

      No. Nobody reads on the Internet is what everyone here is told the moment they make their first landing page. Hn is so far of the chart for what is normal.

        HN likes to feel so special :) Sure, most people (even HNers) don't like landing pages with a lot of text, as it looks scammish. However, blogs are not landing pages. People read blogs because they are interested in the subject, instead of, like a landing page, as a sales talk. And there is no need to take it into hyperbole, which rings as true as "There are no girlzz in the interwebzz!".
