I'm a bit more interested in business (although a programmer first); so my article choices would have been somewhat broader. One of the things I value about Hacker News is that it helps introduce people who might be coders right now to business, market and management info; which will prepare them for the future, but also help ensure their coding decisions fit the business that hired them. I know that's not the primary mission of Hacker News, but I do think it's a valuable contribution. There's an historical pendulum with a cycle of many decades re monopoly/market power regulation which seems to be reversing itself right now. IMHO, this will likely be the most important shaping factor shaping the tech industry over the next decade, especially re small startups. So I don't turn up my nose at "Big Tech Companies Behaving Badly" articles, although I know there's a fair bit of repetition. I do want to know where that pendulum is, and whether it's really swinging back. Yes, it's law that will be the instrument of that change, but it's public perception that will necessitate changes in the law (say re patent misuse) and its implementation.
