Well, I don't get that people 'talk about HN like that' and I think it's worth understanding. A conclusion from that may be that you want try and explain the value of HN. It would be a win if someone like Coda Hale would sometimes participate in discussions here.

Yeah, comments like the one rooting this thread sure seem like a great way to get people like Coda conversing on HN.

  As you yourself said, it ain't gonna happen anyway. Therefore, this thread isn't "spoiling" anything that would have happened otherwise. At least try to be consistent, instead of trying to silence everyone who doesn't share your opinion of an author you obviously idolize. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1998819 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1998819 http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=2083997 http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=2083997 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2688984 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2688984 (includes bonus downvote threat against any who disagree)

    If I had to guess, you got downvoted to the greys for suggesting that I yell about bcrypt because I like Coda Hale (he is dreamy, though).

      Actually, I like bcrypt because tptacek yelled about it.
