News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hacker News is about whatever the community of Hacker News elects to upvote. My guess is there is a significant overlap between people interested in tech, people interested in BBQ, and people just interested in anyone striving for perfection.

Thanks for pitching in, but it's worth pointing out that this is not the case. HN is not about whatever the community elects to upvote: there are categories of stories (politics, cat pictures, &c) that are off-topic for HN regardless of votes.

But you're right in spirit! Interesting articles about barbecue are absolutely on-topic for HN!
