Do you not experience some kind of information overload from monitoring all those stories and comments on HN? How are you able to handle all of that?
Otherwise I just want to say thank you for maintaining this forum and making sure it stays interesting.
Later, it's like having one's brain sandblasted: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... I don't remember most details but I pattern-match quickly.
It's probably not so different from doing any other rather-specific thing enough times.
I also wrote a browser extension with a lot of keyboard shortcuts that by now has close to 10 years of learning baked into it. It doesn't make any decisions but it lets me do repetitive things faster. One of these years I want to open source it (or make it a profile option to serve as JS) so people who like keyboard shortcuts can flip around the threads more easily. It just requires surgery to take out the mod-only bits, which is a bit like separating conjoined twins.
Now all you need to do is to use machine learning to learn the shortcuts, and then use them. Then you will have automated half of your job :P
