Good question, but in my opinion it's somewhat rhetorical. Given bugs like these, the ongoing optimization battle, and fairly reasonable feature requests (see the huge HN topic on that), isn't it about time Paul Graham hired someone full or part time to work all these issues out? Given how important HN is to YC, I would think it's worth it. Are any of these tasks really things pg has to do or are the best use of his time?

It's good to do things you enjoy. Best use of his time? I don't think anyone can definitively answer that.
