I'm very glad I found Hacker news. Sometimes I read the news just cause I'm bored. Now I can just read hacker news which helps me be a better coder instead of draining me of emotional energy
And with all due respect, this thread isn't helping you become a better coder. If anything it's stoking our emotional needs, just in a different manner than say CNN.
Also I appreciate the discussions. Instead of one agenda rammed down mu throats, I get to see the honest opinions of a lot of people.
