    Looking at the top 10, I know of at least one, and maybe two, who spam post every day, dozens of posts every day.

    You really only have to worry if HN goes away.

    I find your experience and insight immensely valuable. As far as I'm concerned you don't!!

    Nice. Not only was I unaware that /leaders even existed, but the top profile has some great links to blogs and writers: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tptacek

    I often drop by here when I'm waiting for test suite results. Right now I'm growing very batty trying to figure out why TLS works for VC and seg faults with dmd. The generated code looks the same. Arggh.

    Edit: @Doreen comment was not meant in any way derogatory, my apologies. Much respect for you, I’m on your Patreon and have learned so much from you [1]. I will be more thoughtful before replying.

    Since when do guys on the leaderboard actually speak to me? You didn't get the memo? "No girls allowed in the old boys club, and we don't care how much karma she has nor how many HN accounts she's made the leaderboard under."

    Dude, just chill. It's a joke and it's mostly about me.

    It wouldn't feel right so I added a line of code to exclude admins years ago.

    I have on many occasions been grateful that Doreen is a participant here. Full concurrence on my part.
