I had a Show HN that made no headway on the frontpage (like 3 karma then it disappeared into the depths), but I posted that same link, relevantly, as a comment somewhere in the middle of the thread and it absolutely blew up. It's now my highest starred repo on Github and I started the phone interview process with Hulu because of it. Don't underestimate the comments here. A TON of people browse these posts too.
