I saved 15 minutes by not reading this blog post :)
- 1337biz 13y agoMe too. Somehow today HN reads really a bit self-help'y...
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- onion2k 13y agoYou should have not read it more slowly and saved yourself an hour.
- joe_inferno 13y agoI did not read it so slowly I now have 6 extra hours! Thanks, guy!
- EC1 13y agoWhy do you come into threads and make comments like this? Genuinely curious. Do you have something against the author or..?
- debacle 13y agoBecause some people are of the opinion that there is entirely too much of this fluff on HN, myself included.
- bshimmin 13y agoSome day I'm going to go into a pub, strike up a conversation with a stranger, and when they inevitably ask me what I do, I'll say, "Why, thank you for asking! I write about optimising our lives for happiness, integrity, and success." And then I'll hope that they murder me.
- herokusaki 13y agoIs there anything wrong in principle with writing about optimising our lives for happiness, integrity, and success?
- debacle 13y agoIt's only a small step away from public masturbation.
- unclebucknasty 13y agoJust that the posts are seldom insightful or helpful in any meaningful way. And, they are frequently ultra-redundant. I mean, truly, who here (or on the planet) hasn't thought it would be ideal to earn a living by pursuing a passion? And, how many forms of this exact article have we seen?
- EC1 13y agoThat's fair.
- angersock 13y agoSo, author in question is still in school (as I recall from his old about page). Moreover, this is the second time an article from this guy has shown up on HN. It's a fluff piece, it's reiterating cliched refrains, it provides no analysis, and honestly the writing isn't compelling enough on its own to be here.
