@avibryant this is a funny thing. you don't need friends, but you do need a strong sense of what the community considers "cool" -
.
@avibryant also you can't get a job by being on Hacker News if nobody ever tells you that Hacker News exists =( -
@b0rk@avibryant In all fairness, if nobody ever tells you that HN exists, you're probably better off in the long run :)

@b0rk eg, I started following you here after seeing your gzipped poetry post on HN. After that, wouldn't consider you "cold". -
@avibryant@b0rk +1 for both of Avi's tweets! I received two job offers last year and my OSS contributions are still on the fringe!
