Link first, then if I have something to say about it, I check the comments to see whether it's been said already. Sometimes I only read the comments, because the headline makes it sound like people's reactions will give me more information than the article itself: an example would be "Library X was updated". But in any case I will never comment without reading the article first, which I think is not an ahem, universal practice among all HN readers.
