As someone who ate a bunch of hellbans, even subtracting my personal learning process, I would say posting on HN is kind of like turtle eggs hatching and trying to crawl across the beach into the ocean before the birds snatch them up. It seems as if oldtimers can sometimes post things newbies would never get away with, and newbies get treated extremely harshly for making a slightly wrong move too early on. edit: sorry, I didn't realize we're talking about an acount that's over 5 years old... so none of what I said applies here, and I'm just as puzzled as the next guy.
