It’s relative. Karma has zero value to me, so it doesn’t factor at all in my decision to comment. It wouldn’t factor in my decision to post should I felt led to do so either.
I use a feed reader to read HN so I see all content without regards to its ranking on site as well, basically I get it pretty much in a when post created timeline. I prefer it that way, I don’t need my interests curated by others. I find that there are too many interesting things to read that would get buried.
- popemarijuanaxq 5y agoI don't take my accounts on HN too seriously although I've been participating since x. I don't see myself putting a link to a comment or contribution on my resume that links to HN, because then I have to answer this obvious question: So you're a hacker? Look at all my karma on Hacker News! Reminds me of the time when I was in the public library and an autistic kid walks in and asks the librarian straight up: I'm looking for books on hacking, do you have any? That astounded her for about 10 seconds before I astounded her further with my response to his question. I know what he's looking for, I'll help him. She never looked at me the same way again.
