How much time do you spend on HN?

A casual analysis would be that I treat HN the way most of my coworkers treat IRC, which I try to avoid.

Let's say you were a founder at a company that is "always hiring" the kind of person you might find on HN? How much would be enough?

If we could stop hiring amazing people off HN, I could probably break the habit, but right now it's pretty hopeless for me.

Rather than trying to break the habit you could always hire a ghost commenter to carry on. With you occasionally checking in to throw off everyone's scent.
