Out of 64 pages, I counted 8 dedicated to programming (and I'm being generous). Why is this called Hacker Monthly again?

- wwortiz 16y agoBecause it is high rated articles from hacker news and as you probably have noticed, a major part of this crowd likes to vote up startup and other articles which are relevant to their interests. Besides hacking isn't limited to programming anymore than artistry is limited to painting. Other than that, I personally would be interested in a monthly magazine that focused on interesting programming related things.
- aristus 16y agoThe original name of HN was "Startup News". Paul generalized the theme about a year into it to include anything interesting to hackers. I also noticed the bias towards business and motivational material as opposed to programming, but that's probably just the luck of the draw. Hacker Monthly is a static slice of a dynamic process.
