I have just posted a long post that probably will be located near the bottom because is lengthy. So here is a short one with my 2 cents: 1) I like to read quality post, I think quality is the main source to sustain a post. 2) Don't shallow your post if you want to have an open road for future success. 3) Your post is a drop in an ocean of knowledge in which content is interrelated. Perhaps you can be successful posting in a niche but I think that niche won't last. 4) I think that in the future quality post will get more recognition.

I downvoted that post not because of length but because it genuinely looked like it's auto-generated by a spam/content summary bot.

I find it surprising that a bot can create such a post!, anyway I use to change password randomly to create new account in HN, it seems a downvote move me to change my nick and start anew. Anyway I find the post of math and programming very interesting but you can always get better.

Please don't create throwaway accounts repeatedly—we ban those. Hacker News is a community site, and so relies on some amount of identity continuity in its membership.
