Classic Hacker News any more - top comment is a cynic. Even if this isn't true, what would the point be for lying? And what really is the harm done?

Not a cynic, a skeptic. And that's pud, who's a pretty major hacker.

Also pretty major cynic, I mean he ran "fuckedcompany" which was essentially schadenfreude central.

Oh so that explains why it's the top comment on an otherwise benign post. He's a pretty major hacker, whatever that means, so people just upvote him because of that?

People upvote him because they trust him. He's got a track record of being reasonable.

Attention seeking obviously. That's the point why the op made it up. There's no harm done, except wasting a bunch of people's time.

Why the story being untrue makes it a waste of time for everybody?

I think the top comment should always be a contrary response to the original post. In this case, skepticism is appropriate.
