Great article. Sleep is important. I liked that the article went out of its way to dispel several of the "but four hours is fine" myths. Two of my favorites: >some people are short sleepers: You can do a test to find out if you

If you have tried getting your friends to play D&D and they say, "too many rules," try Dungeon World. It's designed to be in a similar setting but uses much simpler rules. It also allows you to be much more collaborative

Do you fly for business or otherwise fly a bunch? I 0-3 times a year, typically for vacation, and I am extremely price sensitive. I'd gladly spend 5 minutes on the airline's website to save $20.

I had no idea what Shimming was until this article. Shim seems to mean to build: >a small library that transparently intercepts API calls and changes the arguments passed, handles the operation itself, or redirects the operation elsewher

steanne's way worked for me -- I am unaware of any HN search boxes. What do you mean? This rabbit hole is getting pretty deep.

As a workflowy user I want to know which query is this "slow query" they keep referencing. Also, hopefully the sharding goes well and the new features rock.

It's a bit more nuanced than that: The people in developed countries who buy themselves things to save time are happier than those who instead buy material objects.

Yes! I have been looking for a strategy game to try... and signing up was still too much friction for me. As a content-maker, I would feel that attitude is incredible unreasonable, it's "only a sign up." As a content-consume

I'm no HN expert. The article just, well, reads like an ad/PR. And things that read like an ad, for an unknown company, that aren't obviously useful, tend not to get many upvotes. I don't think I misunderstand your produ

If there is no money involved, what is the benefit to you of moving your already-successful article to their publication (and removing it from Medium and your domain)? I don't see any. You aren't necessarily going to get better ex

I enjoyed this article, but it desperately needed a map that showed current routes and planned expansion. That map needed to be in its own image, not at a 45 degree angle with people standing in front of it.

"Confessions" is an odd part of the title. The article presents an interesting analysis of churn and why closing a product line with high churn makes sense - it seems like it was a good decision to close it. "Confession"
