Great piece. Last year, I forced myself to release something every two weeks

Out of habit I tend to check the comments here before reading the article, and um... I did a serious double-take between the title and your opening sentence. For about a second I just stopped and stared at the phrase, “even if it wasn’t finished” and just thought, “Wow... here’s a guy with high standards!”

Anyway, then I read on, sighed, chuckled, and read the (very good) blog post.

I reread your comment about five times and still am not sure what you are saying here, my apologies.
The commenter took the post title literally/without context and applied that literal understanding to the top level comment.
Well I guess it's not everyday you see "Masturbation" in a HN #1 post's title and the sentence "I forced myself to release something every two weeks" in the first top comment.
The title mentions masturbation and the top commenter said they forced themself to release something, which could be read as an euphemism for masturbation.
He misunderstood that the masturbation was not purely intellectual
Get your mind in the gutter
