Somebody posted it over on reddit and you should see some of the comments. Makes me sound like some guy living in a cave eating twigs and berries. I wonder how much of the response to an article comes from situational cues -- knowing the author, being part of a community and such -- and how much is actually predicated on how good the article is?
The guy who submitted in on reddit had a really low score. I'm assuming he's not one of the "in crowd" over there. It would be interesting to wait a month or two and then have a high-profile person over there submit the same article to see if the reaction would be different. I'm betting it would be.
Hey. Still working on my hacking skills. Been slinging code for 20 years and I don't think I'll ever reach uber-coder status like some of the other guys on here.
