WHY DON'T I SEE ANYTHING ABOUT HACKING/DEVELOPMENT IN HERE?

from the self-post dept.

Yeah, so this is called Hacker News but all I see are posts about consumer technologies, Bitcoin and dumb headlines. Am I the odd one out here, or should this be a resource for software engineers? It's pretty much a no-frills aggregator of whatever flotsam ends up getting posted. Oh well. Ha.

Don't worry. HN goes in cycles. Soon we will re-enter a three-week period where everyone only posts "ABCD in X lines of javascript" and "JSJSJS.js, a new and totally-not-superfluous framework"

Hilarious that I'm being downmodded and there's an "ABCD in X lines of javascript" on the front page right now.

Hahaha! Yeah, it could look like DZone lately - "I see dead people...and jQuery and JS frameworks"

I'm kind of missing that either. Hope that cycle starts again.

You obviously suffer from the Dunning-Kreuger effect.
