A hacker’s curiosity is not limited to code and silicon. The more context you load up, the more robust the mental model you can build. HN is still HN, but like everything, change is inevitable as we all evolve as humans (along with the environments we live in globally).
There is a hide flag, which I recommend using as much as needed to ignore topics that you don’t find interesting. HN will be fine as long as forum curation remains intentional and opinionated.
> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Stay curious.
(Startups are just a way for a specific type of person to become economically empowered from their ambition and problem space understanding drive [“seeking product market fit and scaling”], hence why HN exists; to draw curious, driven people to investment)
