@b0rkJulia Evans : it is funny how I now fear opening the comments section of HN when one of my blog post is on the front page.

In consequence, I force myself not to open it (I made one exception for the release of one of my software because I knew most comments would be technical questions)

On the other hands, I’ve the opposite experience with lobste.rs : I do really appreciate the comments there and the discussion that follow.
