Minor (major?) nit: I'd like to see a post about "The top HN reply to any submission that makes any sort of statement." In it, the author could show a number of top replies, each trivializing the original submission. "Look, I did this three weeks ago in my handmade Javascript interpreter [0], written in my own implementation of Go [1], compiled with a compiler written in assembly [10], by me."
