Maybe an irony of this blog post is that nobody commenting here seems to have read it, either. They seem to be responding to the title (which more accurately "belongs" to HN, in the sense it doesn't require reading TFA) rather than the content. The author very clearly states that the reason is the Buddhist "carry water, chop wood": you do it because it needs doing. You do it because you saw something. You do it for yourself. Yet a lot of the comments here are more of a utilitarian bent, e.g. "one day someone will see it", "it's for networking", "it's proof you know your stuff", etc. Completely unrelated and maybe even contrary to the meaning of this article/blog post!
