Now the list has been expanded to 200 people (previously 100).
Hacker News usernames are shown wherever possible.
I've also posted a link to a CSV file which contains the full list up to 1,000 people.
And a cron job will automatically regenerate the list once a week.
If nobody else does it, I'll try to crank something out this weekend.
I apologise in advance if this causes offence; stream or not, I still have tremendous respect for this very high calibre community.
I don't think so. The hacker ethos is about being clever and hacking stuff.
Hackers don't do things differently just to be different. They do things differently because they see the world differently. The reason there is a "hacker community" is because hackers meet each other and say "No shit! You do that too! I thought I was the only one!"
Like any good community, it's about commonalities.
But not all groups engage in groupthink. Organizational psychologists talk about ways to reduce and/or avoid groupthink in an organization or community.
If you believe that Hacker News is suffering from groupthink, you should present evidence of that, and then the community could take action to try and reduce it.
Personally I don't see it. I strongly doubt anyone is deleting people off their twitter based on this submission.
Also, I noticed the first time this was posted I got a bunch of new followers. It's kind of a self-reinforcing list.
EDIT: changed official to unofficial, thanks riklomas
