Reproducing Hacker News writing style fingerprinting - <antirez>

The "analyze" feature works pretty well.

My comments underindex on "this" - because I have drilled into my communication style never to use pronouns without clear one-word antecedents, meaning I use "this" less frequently that I would otherwise.

They also underindex on "should" - a word I have drilled OUT of my communication style, since it is judgy and triggers a defensive reaction in others when used. (If required, I prefer "ought to")

My comments also underindex on personal pronouns (I, my). Again, my thought on good, interesting writing is that these are to be avoided.

In case anyone cares.

That's very interesting as I noticed that certain outliers seemed indeed conscious attempts.
