Literally nothing. Reddit is a cesspool and especially when it comes to technical topics it is absolutely abysmal. Most of the people spouting off opinions about technical topics on Reddit are totally unqualified to do so. People who work as cashiers at Taco Bell writing diatribes about Ruby vs PHP, etc.
- bb6xt 10y agoQuite contrary to what you've written I find the Haskell subredit very useful. The comments are usually well thought out and relevant. I daresay the people on the Haskell subredit are the smartest and most helpful of any subredit I've been on.
- kLeeIsDead 10y agoUnfortunately the same thing could be said about this site as of late. There are still some knowledgeable people here, but it appears eternal September has hit.
- wyldfire 10y agoWhat are the qualifications for having an opinion on a technical topic? Ever since Reddit introduced subreddits, it has become a very dynamic place. Many moderators cultivate behavior similar to how it's done here on HN. Lots of subreddits are gems of community and threads like this are a great way to index those valuable parts.
- sotojuan 10y agoIs HN and the Twitter/Medium/blog spehere different? We get devs with 0-3 years experience and no desire to look into past art writing with an authoritative tone all the time.
