Not really. In fairness, it's probably a bad day to have posted this.
Don't get me wrong, I love reading that kind of stuff too. But I'd rather get it from the other sites, rather than on HN. I guess that's our point of contention, but that's cool. I knew when I posted this that there'd be people who'd have the PoV that you have, and I can completely understand where you're coming from. Part of me would like to agree.
However, I'd also like HN to stay as it is, and not to end up as a repository for everything your or I find interesting. I think it'd lose something at that point.
But to re-iterate, I can completely understand where you're coming from. However, I (respectfully) take the other side.
- jrockway 17y agoI'm just confused as to why you have such strong opinions after 2 months here.
- petewailes 17y agoPartly it's because I've been around as a reader for a lot longer than I've been registered. But mostly because it's been bugging me for a while, and thought that even if stops one or two people, it would have been worth it.
- robryan 17y agoIn the year and a half(lurked for quiet a while) I have read this site it's always had the kind of interesting stuff your saying that it shouldn't. I have found most of the time that something that interests the HN community usually interests me, maybe that is just because my interests align with the site really well but I certainly wouldn't want this to change in favor of a few narrow areas. I think HN promotes having a broad knowledge in a lot of different areas rather than reading about the same stuff all day.
