I always click through to the HN comments about an article before clicking through to the article itself in the knowledge that I'll get a rigorous, open-minded perspective on the topic.

Many times the criticism and debate I've read here has been better than the original source material itself.

This. I am only an amateur programmer, bit i often prefer the discourse over the article, to the article itself.

Now I routinely check the comments first.
