The story might be more interesting to me than to more experienced hackers here, so YMMV. For me, however, what was intriguing was how he first of all had to learn what he didn't know - and then learn it. Looks to me as if one of those learnings was essentially about life/work as a roller coaster - in the sense that even though it sometimes appears you're headed for a crash/death, sometimes it's just a whiplash in one's professional "learning curve." Rahul's sharing this on HN may be one of those whiplashes - on the blogging slopes - where it's more important than one might guess to attend to writing(and formatting) style. Until that slope is mastered, the poster discovers that most comments about his post concern his quirks of using bolding in overabundance.

Anyway, congratulations on surviving the transition, Rahul. And here's wishing you move through surviving to thriving!
