Was I downmodded because someone didn't find this collection useful? Jeez... just trying to express gratitude as someone who casually follows Patrick's experiences but doesn't have time to read everything. Sometimes curation is helpful!
For some reason HN seems to frown on the occasional 'thank you' post. I can see how if all there was was thank yous that it would get boring quickly but I don't think we're quite there yet.
I think the people that would downvote a 'thank you' that is more than just two words are scared of something that is not a problem.
