Considering he got on the front page of hacker news, it is far from useless. That's like 10k page views and good chance of investor/VC attention. I've gotten a couple meetings with VCs thanks to being on Mashable/Verge/etc., so Hacker News is likely no different. Actually, the page views are more from Hacker News since people go to your site directly instead of reading an article and maybe going to your site.
Too bad he doesn't have contact info or anything on there to capitalize on the traffic.
