Thought the same thing. At work I'm encouraged to be active online in places like HN and to read relevant articles and so on.

That's awesome. Does it make you a better coder?

Absolutely. I'm not sure how following the industry and contributing to open source projects could not make you better programmer.

This reminds me of the "boss key" in video games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key)

Nicely done!

Finally something useful hacker news. I have been reading way to much hacker news lately, and my colleagues have started to take notice.

Next month I hope someone could make a html source code theme for hacker news.

This is great. But why isn't it async?

The only way I can see to do it is constantly scraping HN's pages(unless there's an API?). On another note, having source code on your screen randomly shift and change large blocks of itself might be suspicious, defeating the purpose of this.

I would imagine that a fairly large percentage of the Hacker News community probably works for themselves or as freelance contractors. The main problem is not that of hiding your browsing from an employer, but having the self control to work rather than browsing.

Let's find out with this poll... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2393374

First person to go there will see my answer :)
