Same. I find that hn crowd is pretty well educated. It's almost a replacement for reddit, which has gone way downhill for me.

I don't care about writing a webserver in scheme or whatnot. I come here for this stuff these days.

I wish there was an easy way to find stuff like this and filter out the... Normal hn stuff. I love the long reads I've found here. Eg "the secret of nanda devi" or "the hunt for the death valley Germans"
