100% we should. Work isn't the only thing a hacker should be doing.

It can be anything, from finishing something with a minimum amount of resources, broken code that somehow works or pure exploration and guessing e.g. phreaking or just finding a random telephone number that gives you goodies.

or, most especially life itself. No point of all work if no play.

I LOVE this idea.

I am sure many on here are playing with the same "outside of programming" type ideas.

I've been a budding woodworker for the longest time and even though I keep going back to playing with some kind of tech thing outside my day job, I have been teaching myself how to draw faces (Loomis method), and trying to pick up woodworking again. Each of these require enough time but they're a welcome departure from the usual tech stuff (which I still generally enjoy but has been very intense, working on Pandemic-response projects)

+1 monthly would respond

I really love how humane this whole thread is. People often say here than they miss the old internet, in a way this thread feels like it.

Where is the user "dang"?

Dang deletes posts just for saying something simple like "yes" -- b/c apparently an upvote is supposed to serve that purpose.

but i suppose such rules are selectively enforced (and probably entails some bias, such as political view, etc.)

I agree. This is more interesting and engaging than corporations posting their open roles.

Yes, this is much more at the spirit of HN

Totally agree

They're already quite frequent, though idk about monthly. These are nice though, indeed.

Emailing dang requesting for this to be made a monthly post might help us.

+1, this is a great idea!

+1 would be a great idea

Yes, please!

Yes, this would be nice idea!

Yes please

I would love this as well!

Yes! That's one of the things that I think HN should take from lobste.rs.

Yes yes yes!
