Let me come clean: I moved my comment to where I thought the discussion is still happening.

I have something to say and would like to share my learnings to discuss with other people here.

No you didn't. You first created your comment on this thread, then deleted it, to copy it in this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26059517 then deleted it, to copy it again in the current thread. If you didn't act bad in the past I would trust you, but this is not the case.

As for the content of the comment, I actually find it relevant

Yes, I moved my comment right after posting as there were two alternative discussions going on, and I wasn't certain on which one to post.

I apologize if I posted too often once again.

If anyone finds it useful, I just discovered HN has a "delay" feature:

I just set it to 5 minutes - in my case it's enough time to edit/review the comment before it's visible.

You don't have to delete the old comment to do that. That is what makes it look shady. Deleting the old comment doesn't make it less spammy, it just makes it look like you're trying to hide the fact that you're posting it multiple times.

Thanks, that’s helpful advice.
