Sounds like some kid discovering a bash feature, nothing more. May I post a link to a page with a whole lotta nifty bash tricks instead? http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/papers/bash_tips/

I'm "the kid."

I intentionally restrained myself to one tip. See http://codeulate.com/?p=21 for the reasoning.

That makes total sense for your blog -- getting one tip a day in your RSS reader is way better for learning them than looking at them all at once.

However, I don't think it makes sense to post it on HN. If all the posts on the front page were little snippets, the conversation would quickly degenerate.

I think useful content is useful regardless of length.

Also, TONS of crap gets submitted to HN. You're seeing this because it was voted to the front page. I don't think I'm affecting the quality of conversation negatively.
