I upvoted the story because I found it interesting. Hearing about someone being successful at something is great, and for them to be successful at something you wouldn't necessarily expect is even better. The implication that I, or any of the other ~50 people who voted for this story, am being 'careless' by upvoting something I like is wholly unfair. I don't have to vote based on what you think should be at the top of the front page. HN is not a carefully curated list of stories that dkroy might like.
