Hit this tab, tried it, found a flight for about $80 less than I just booked. Lesson learned: always read HN before doing actual work.

Benefit: saved $80 on a flight, once!

Cost: OMG, did I just spend 2 hours reading about people doing interesting things, instead of doing interesting things? Again?
