Ask HN: Why do you read HN?
- fm95 10y agoI find myself coming here almost everyday because of the level of quality in the content. I always leave with something new. It's a great place full of smart minds, civil discussions, and lots of knowledge.
- sidcool 10y agoMostly addiction
- Mz 10y agoRead? I'm just here for the pictures.
- MyNewAcc 10y agoContent. And no "modern" web UI bs with ads that bring a super computer to it's knees.
- homoSapiens 10y agoInteresting stuff on here. Also found my current job (which is awesome!) here via whoishiring :)
- codegeek 10y agoFor me, the biggest reason is the community and the people that hang out on HN. I mean how many places can you get Alan Kay to do an AMA of such high quality as this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11939851 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11939851 Other reasons are simplicity and speed of HN site that makes it a breeze to only focus on the content. No flashy stuff.
- BoysenberryPi 10y agoI actually thought about this the other day. Whoishiring every month was the only real reason I could come up with.
- eecks 10y agoI like seeing what tech trends people are discussing and what people are working on (show HN)
- sova 10y agoTypically I resort to HN as a forum of modern scientific knowledge and young chaps and old chaps trying to make cool stuff happen in the world. It's really not about venture capitalizing or even making tons of user conversions for me, I have no tech products that I sell and I have a huge skillset. I'm interested in the furthering of human knowledge and HN is pretty close to what slashdot used to be for that.
- flukus 10y agoBecause reddit is blocked at work.
- egfx 10y agoShowHN's that make it to the front page. Space news.
- mod 10y agoFor the comments, and ask HN. The level of discourse at HN is, in my opinion, the best on the net. I value the contributions of the commenters here, and that's unusual for me anymore.
