HACKER Q&A

Do you have more or less than 1Mb text of your own writing?


Of all that you have written in ypur lifetime, do you have in your possession more or less than 1Mb (180,000 words) of text?

Printed, blogged, work-related, personal diary, fiction practice, emails you personally wrote (not so much copies of boilerplate, or coauthoring when added for other reasons than actual written words).

Asking out of curiosity.

Some here probably have more than 1mb in comments. There's probably a way to calculate that through the API if someone were so inclined.

Yes i do, i like to put down my thoughts in writing as well as planning out strategies and such as i found out that i could not find a pen when i needed it much which was a dilemma of mine and so i started just using my laptop and phone to jot down what came to mind and was worth recording

Much, much more.

It doesn't take long to build up that many words on online forums, like Hacker News.

Far, far more than 1 MB.
