Tbf this is just you - a decent human being that actually has something to say - filling in not just "the blanks" but "the blank". The post of that account trying to build up an identity (see other posts + 0 comments) has nothing to do with that.
One could probably also give you words sampled from /dev/urandom and it might spark an actually interesting thought, but that doesn't give urandom any merit.
FWIW, I've been using a similar workflow as you describe, though the lines have been blurry at times.
- Retr0id 9d agoI think you're right, but I also think that some of the best ideas come out of urandom, and the rest is just curation. I didn't find it interesting enough to upvote, but I wouldn't downvote it either.
- hypfer 9d agourandom has no financial incentive though. It just is. The same can unfortunately not be said about "making it to the HN front page". But I can see that not everyone is bothered by that as much as I am. Not that I would have any mandate to do so anyway.
