Hacker News Reader

Not hacker news. It’s mostly click bait / programmer junk food for the last couple of years (I only started reading then but took a while a realise)

View on HN

True. But I think HN is simply a constant few notches above the baseline of the Internet. As the Internet is "sinking", so is HN.

Plus, you can actually have a good discussion here. Somehow the community knows to completely shut off any kind of "me too", "this is awesome", or other useless comments.

HN is so much higher in quality compared to most places. Yes, there's a lot of 'programmer porn' links, but there are also tons of in-depth discussions.

And lots of shallow dismissals/overconfidence masquerading as in-depth discussions.
