Can't have hobos hanging around the shiny new HQ's.
If you'd only post thoughtful, substantive comments to HN from now on, we'd appreciate it.
Getting downvoted can feel pretty harsh. It sucks, but it happens to everyone. The only thing that really works is not to take it personally, give what you wrote an honest look to see what might have prompted the downvote, correct that if you can, and move on. Remember that it has nothing to do with you. People see what they see in internet comments—yours, mine, and everyone else's—for their own reasons.
