I was reading the article while writing a user acquisition strategy. I almost died laughing.

- McDoku 12y agoI'd argue that the illusion of grander depth within a narrative is the very thing that makes a work great. I did mean 'meta' some what humorously. I had not expected it to be received so literally. Of course it is a subjective parallel. Also, I think their are quantifiable parallels that many people on HN would relate too. It may explain the rise of a random bee keeping article. It would stand to reason that if the attributes and narrative were familiar it could possibly take on certain unconscious meaning to that group.
- eru 12y agoLots of people (including me) have actually toyed with keeping bees. I think it's just one of the things that appeals here, like eg practicing martial arts. (Even though we don't get many articles about that.)
