One thing I've always wondered, is whether moderating a forum like HN (or any forum, really) is mentally stimulating enough to do day in and day out.

As a web developer, the more I do the more I crave novel challenges. Writing CRUD apps or getters and setters gets old fast.

Are there novel challenges with content moderation?

If you had a second stealth account to join discussions Im sure its plenty stimulating. But even just reading might be enough. HN is full of lurkers who spend an insane amount of time here.

edit: Im not saying the moderators have stealth accounts!

That does not seem at all like Dan's style.

Yes. While it's never really been stealth [1], Dan does still use gruseom occasionally (not for the above purposes): https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=gruseom
