- devmunchies 9y agoSo you're saying that hacker news is no longer for hacker-related news? The whole world wants to "share something cool". I come here so that I only get the cool tech stuff. My 2 cents.
- greglindahl 9y agoYou might want to read the guidelines, linked in the footer. The very first section deals with your assumption as to what's on-topic here.
- galeaspablo 9y agoIf you want to save yourself a click... Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity I would say the content fits this description.
- greglindahl 9y agoI figured that they might benefit from reading the rest of the guidelines, too.
- galeaspablo 9y agoTeam work. You point to the full guidelines. I cover the people in a rush who want a ;TLDR. ;)
- DanBC 9y ago> no longer other people have pointed out the guidelines. I wanted to point out that something similar has existed for many years. https://web.archive.org/web/20080616133301/http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://web.archive.org/web/20080616133301/http://ycombinato...

- Bjartr 9y ago>I come here so that I only get the cool tech stuff. Then, honestly, this is the wrong place. Yeah, a good portion of it is cool tech stuff, but it's not (and has never been) exclusively that.
- kwhitefoot 9y agoThis is cool tech stuff! It's just not explicitly related to computing. How much techier can you get than the language used to communicate all the other tech stuff?
