Dang, can we do something about the sexist title? I've already complained about it on their site; I have no idea if they'll do anything about it, but seems to me we could change it here to "The Measured Worker" with no loss of intelligibility.
Btw it's better to email questions like this to hn@ycombinator.com. We only saw this one by accident.
I will email in future. Thanks!
