I have a proposal to make, since part of changing the present of coding is showing alternatives and visions to the biggest audience possible, I would like to know when someone posts something on reddit, HN or similar so I can upvote it and maybe move the conversation to those platforms to the specific topic at hand, that will create more visibility and an encapsulated discussion per topic (which will have the benefit of being permanent and accesible to search engines). You don't have to upvote everything proposed, just what you think adds something to the future of coding.

I worry that those sites detect upvoting rings and this plan would backfire...

I don't think we are going to be submitting so much so often 🙂
I have yet to submit something about what I do there
but yes, we should not abuse it

so we’re starting a future of coding lobby? is that what you’re saying? 😄

lobbying is important too 😄
"if I build it they will come" only works for baseball movies 😛
even between us, yesteday @stevekrouse tweeted that he was "late to the party" for a thing someone did, and I found out even later than him!

The HN voting ring detector is extremely sensitive. Many of you may already be on it purely by sharing interests. Fortunately there are no penalties more serious than the odd upvote being discounted.

I like the idea just for making us all aware of things posted to those forums. As I don’t spend much time there (I’m already spending way too much time here), it would be great to have one place where you can somewhat reliably feel like you learn about all the stuff that’s going on.
