🎉 Wow, someone finally cracked the code on how to turn mindlessly scrolling through Hacker News comments into a career! 🤯 Just what the world needs: a dissertation-length analysis of tech bros arguing over tabs vs. spaces. 📜💻

Profiling Hacker News users based on their comments

Here’s a mildly dystopian prompt I’ve been experimenting with recently: “Profile this user”, accompanied by a copy of their last 1,000 comments on Hacker News. Obtaining those comments is easy. …

Finally have been trying out https://github.com/boyter/scc for counting (unique) lines of code, comments, DRYness and complexity and getting a better and more aggregated overview of the scale of my https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo. SCC is really much better and faster than what I've been using previously (cloc) and also provides more meaningful results, including COCOMO project stats.

So selected current data points for this mega repo (incl. 214 projects and 185 example projects):

Estimated Cost to Develop (organic) $10,032,312
Estimated Schedule Effort (organic) 33.03 months
Estimated People Required (organic) 26.98

(This is equivalent of 74 years for one person and an assumed salary of $56k/year... Considering the repo in this form is only 8+ years old, that literally makes me a 9.25x developer 🙃)
