undefined | Better HN

Well I thought it was interesting that my shitty comment that linked to something I wrote got so many hits while getting on the frontpage got so little in comparison.

I could get your angst if I had linked to it again or actually linked to it in my profile. But I did neither. So now I just think you are a dick.

I had a Show HN that made no headway on the frontpage (like 3 karma then it disappeared into the depths), but I posted that same link, relevantly, as a comment somewhere in the middle of the thread and it absolutely blew up. It's now my highest starred repo on Github and I started the phone interview process with Hulu because of it. Don't underestimate the comments here. A TON of people browse these posts too.

Angst? I wasn't being facetious, I actually checked your profile for a link to your site.
