If it’s mistaken, it should be easy to explain why. Otherwise I’m inclined to believe it’s merely an uncomfortable truth.

Would your employer pay you to HN all day? If not, precisely how much of your day are they comfortable with you HN’ing? Are you sure it’s officially approved?

There’s often good intel on here that I have not been exposed to on other sources. Obviously spending 40 hours a week reading HN and getting into politics arguments on here is a waste, but there’s plenty of relevant news for most folks in tech if you stick to those topics.

Do you collect stats, how assertions line up with facts? Otherwise, what may seem likely and catchy, might just as well be opinionated, unsubstantiated and patchy.
