Hacker News isn't just strictly news anymore than the New York Times is strictly about New York.

We do live in boring times. The 24/7 media cycle may have taught us otherwise. But day-to-day, not that much new events happens. The way I see Hacker News, it's a place for smart hackers to post interesting articles. If other hackers find the article interesting, that's all that matters.

Of course HN isn't specifically anything other than a repository of links. And if people find old articles interesting, that's great; like I said, a lot of them are to me as well.

But there is so much else going on around the world that I don't see the point in rehashing three-year-old change-of-employment announcements.

I'm not trying to incur the ire of the love-it-or-leave-it crowd, so I'll just leave it at that.
