I haven't read a lot of HN over the last two days, but I saw that we had one "Offer HN", and then a slew of them.
I think it's a great idea -- pay it forward! But I wonder if I would want to visit a board full of "Offer HN" posts. "Ask HN"? Sure. "Rate my startup"? Sure. But not so much "Offer HN"
Perhaps that means I'm selfish but geesh, this thing could go on forever.
It's the same problem as job offers/requests. It's such a common thing -- it could easily pollute the board.
Not happening yet, sure, and I'm enjoying watching them so far. But this could turn out to be a worse meme than Erlang Innards.
I don't know. I'll let you secret HN leader cabal-types figure it out. I just know that after about 20 "Offer HN" posts, I'm burnt out. And I don't feel that way about the other types of posts. Beats me why.
