I'm one of the people to blame. I came here less than a year ago after someone recommended this site as a smarter alternative to reddit. I haven't mentioned it on reddit because I don't want it to be dumbed down, but inevitably, non-programmers like me will shift the content away from hacking, because we're only going to upvote links that we understand... which will make the site more attractive to non-hackers, and so on.
