Hey! I wrote the article a few years ago. Fun to see it on HN again.
It was here back when I wrote it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32071137
Lots of comments talking about how this is just some sort of ploy to feed the machine. I don't know what to tell you. I can only tell you it changed my life and the lives of many others. Hope it can help you too!
Sorry to say, but the article is complete BS. Publishing is only desirable when your work is top-notch ;)
You had me in the first half! <3
