I learn more reading the comments here than anywhere else. Thanks everyone for my addiction.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. If I type 'n' into any browser it autocompletes to HN.

If you're looking to put the brakes on that, I've used LeechBlock to add a 5-second timer to opening a new HN window (along with other block schedules). The timer even fails if it loses focus, so it really helps slow you down.

I say. Vibe coded 4 apps once I got past that, on my way to half a billion in ARR already.

I’ve turned on no procrast mode and set it to ten minutes per hour. Helped me a lot!

Same! Right there with "every day must begin with coffee"

It just reinforces for me that addiction is a human problem not a problem with technology

I know dang basically works tirelessly to not change the format in order to not induce those addictive patterns

but yet here we all are

⌘-T, N, <RET>

Did it like 5 times during that 1h-ish outage. :(

So do I, but it was such a shock that I just passed out, and when I woke up, it was back up.

I did not know how addicted I was to HN until today lol

What? You mean you ... close the HN tab?

I already knew that. :)
