I love these comments on Hacker News - Someone briefly skims the title and the first couple sections, and then makes some snarky comment about how unrealistic the article is. For some reason, these comments are almost always the most upvoted as well. You do have 8 hours of free time a day, and the whole point of the article is learning how to most effectively utilize those things. The article even has a name for all the things that get in the way like laundery, dinner, relationships, etc.



Guilty as charged. I’m embarrassed by how many upvotes it got. I was hoping it’d get buried as I have a better comment in this thread.

But.....

There is a lesson for writers to think about different kinds of readers, and read your post from different reader archetypes point of view.
