I've been ignoring links to coding horror for a long time. I clicked on this one because it seemed to be targeted to people like me, and I wondered if he was showing some self-awareness, or perhaps planning to take the blog in a new direction. For those who don't want to waste their time, the answer is "no".
- GHFigs 17y agoPeople not interested in wasting their time probably didn't bother clicking into the comment thread on a post they had no interest in.
- smokinn 17y agoThat's actually the exact opposite of what I usually do. If the article looks interesting, I read it. If I can see why the article could be interesting but I'm not personally interested I ignore it. If, however, the article looks pointless I click through to the comments to see if it has hidden value or not. If consensus seems to be that it's interesting then I'll read it. If it's full of comments like the grandfather then I don't.
