Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?

HN discussionhttp://four.livejournal.com/963421.html I'd say, only talk about your future plans as much as you are comfortable to. Sometimes just talking vaguely about your things with other people helps to keep you interested and motivated.
