The redesign that everyone, including me, hates with a passion? I continuously have to revert to the old design, the new design is horrible.

Is it just me or did UIs just start getting worse at some point? I just take it for granted that every redesign will somehow reduce features while increasing clutter.

I love it. Reddit was fugly before.

Reddit was minimal and I could safely browse it during down time at work without too much suspicion, that's also what I like about Hacker News, the new design is hard to conceal at work.

I don't mind the UI, I just wish they didn't hate their own website so much. It seems like they just want everyone to use the app, for some reason.

Nick is a quality human. Well deserved.

Also he is now a CPO.
