I am curious Dang, do you do this manually or do you have an automated script for digging relevant submissions in the past?

  It's sort of hybrid. Here are some past explanations https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27726982 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27726982 (July 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27284079 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27284079 (May 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27236708 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27236708 (May 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26886074 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26886074 (April 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26245003 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26245003 (Feb 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26158300 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26158300 (Feb 2021) (I made that list using the same software :))

    What drives you? What's your ~motivation~?
    • dang 5y ago
      Not sure what motivation you're asking about. If you mean motivation for posting links to past discussions—it's my job to help HN be as interesting as possible (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20optimiz%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), and readers seem to find those links interesting.
