And how does this comment add to the disucussion at all, if you're so concerned with the sanctity of Hacker News?
Since you've been here you have submitted exactly one article, over a year ago.
Maybe before you start complaining about the content, you should start contributing to it?
- jeffdavis 15y agoI aim for quality more than quantity. I try to write about what I know, and read about everything. And I think that making an effort to carefully consider the quality and applicability of my submissions is a virtue. So, I wrote what I thought was a very innovative peer-reviewed feature to a prominent open source product, which took me a long time. Then, I carefully wrote an article about it and submitted it myself. It fell off the front page very quickly. That's OK -- maybe someone will think my next feature is interesting. But these things take me a while to do. So, I'm really more puzzled by your comment than anything else. I write some truly new content (in every sense) that is highly applicable, and that gets little interest. A political op-ed piece gets upvoted. And then you criticize me for not contributing to the discussion.
