Therefore, my favorite HN post changes for what I am interested in which is highly time sensitive based on what I am currently doing. I highly recommend everyone to search for "hacker news <some_new_thing_(generally_technology)_you_are_looking_into>" when researching new things.
Example: I was building a django app in my spare time and I wanted to know more about django channels which allows one to create web sockets. I Google searched "hacker news django channels" and found 116 comments talking about it from other professionals when it was first released: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11305869
"Ask HN: Sell my startup for $14M because I can't raise $2M?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15314663
"First employee of startup? You are probably getting screwed" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2949323
"How I Sold My Bible App Company" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11032480
"Ask HN: Who is willing to work for coin?" actually a negative example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14776408
That, and the Great Putnam Comeback.
This has been asked multiple times before, and it's generally a useful and interesting discussion, and new things are learned.
If anything, linking to searches for prior times it's been asked[1] would be good. Also searches for people asking about favorite comments[2].
