How does this self-righteous non-sense make the front page, again. Just because Danielle was a "conference ho" doesn't mean everyone falls into the trap.
2. I was running a test to see why we are getting modded of the front page - this post made the front page without a single vote from friends, coworkers, etc. before getting bumped.
3. There are tons of entrepreneurs falling into this trap - they are all packing for their flights right now, hopefully they saw this post while there is still time.
Also, few people here have as much game as she does.
There are two sides of this - getting readership and getting feedback when content really isn't good/interesting to this audience. Still learning, but I think I have a much better understand than I did a year ago.
At the moment, I don't use much social media to promote my posts. Due to me being lazy. Keeping track if all the networks is an issue even with the tools available. I cannot even fathom how much time you spend doing that. How about a post explaining it?
I'd assume it got on the front page because people thought it was good advice and/or interesting. I've been told that's how HN works (snark).
Also nonsense is one word.
