Had a blog post do 12,000 views on Hacker News

My launches usually do well on Hacker News. But I've had trouble re-producing this for articles. Most of my blog articles get a couple of upvotes and then perish.

But i decided to try again today.

This morning I posted an analysis I did of Pieter Level's coding style and it's still on the front page.

My headline was "Pieter Levels makes $600k a year from Nomad List and Remote OK"

So some takeaways would be 1) mention a big figure and 2) mention a famous maker.

It's still just on the front page now after 6 hours which is awesome for a blog post: https://news.ycombinator.com/news
