I'm curious: Why? Too much traffic? Does he have a beef with HN?

  HN comments can be very negative, and he found himself adding a bunch of caveats and qualifiers to his writing to appease the critics, which he feels makes his writing worse.

    Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you! I'll just say that from my perspective, the only thing worse than having critics is not having critics.

      Yeah, I personally feel lucky when an article of mine hits the front page (although maybe there's an inflection point of popularity at which the reverse is true). But regardless, we should respect his wishes.
