I thought most of us recognize that HN is a waste of time. That's why theres a no-procrastinate feature.
Most of the news I read here is unimportant, or doesn't affect me. Oh look, a framework. Oh wow, a company got funding.
Occasionally there's a neat article about our industry which makes me stop and think. And then I go into the comment section to have a healthy debate about it. But who am I kidding? I don't know anyone here. And nothing I say will likely change any minds. And vice versa.
At the end of the day, HN is mindless entertainment. Some days I'm restless and I can't just do nothing. But I need a break from work. So I spend 5 minutes on HN and go back to what I'm doing. Unless it's nice outside. Then I take a walk.
