Sign that you're a bad person (pronounced 'karma whore'): Relinking something that is already practically linked at the top of HN. Seriously, this is linked at the top of the article currently at the top of hn (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9167008). You don't have to link us and this is a clear and dumb grab at stupid imaginary points.

The number of slots on the front page are limited at a given time. This is already effectively on the front page, so re-posting it is effectively wasting a slot.

Please don't be rude. The second paragraph makes your point just fine.

Nobody in the original thread has commented on this other article yet, and I thought it was different enough and interesting enough that it could provoke a discussion of its own. Sorry to have offended you, but I post stuff because I think it contributes to HN, not to get points. Also, if an article doesn't get upvoted, it falls off the front page very quickly.

I read both the "good" and "bad" programmer articles, and must now confess:

1. I'm a "fantastic" programmer who is "destined for more."

2. I'm a bad programmer.
