Ah, the irony of saying this to people like us, wasting our attention like there's no tomorrow on the odd news story on HN :-)

Ah, the irony of saying this to people like us, wasting our attention like there's no tomorrow on the odd news story on HN :-)
- crehn 6y agoWhat is it about HN that makes it feel much more productive than other similar sites?
- hinkley 6y agoLower troll ratio perhaps?
- einpoklum 6y agoPerhaps: More intelligent and engaging trolls? :-)
- inetsee 6y agoThe promise of "The Silver Bullet". You'll find an article that will tell you how to be more creative, more productive, happier. You'll create the next unicorn business, get filthy, stinking rich, and have everyone wanting to be your friend. Of course, your best bet for achieving these goals would be to spend less time reading HN and more time actually "Doing the Work".
- nullsense 6y agoI found a silver bullet here once. Read an article about The DAO and smart contracts. Led to making 100k. You're so right though. It is the allure of potentially finding a silver bullet. Combined with the great community and thoughtful discussions.
- kempbellt 6y agoAn ironic post indeed. There's a valuable message here: Give me your attention for a moment so I can teach you to protect your attention. Like a move baddie saying, "Trust me when I tell you: Don't trust anyone" <- this the bad guy right here. You don't need to watch the rest of the movie. TLDR: If you value your attention and want to respect the intention of the article, don't read it ;)
