I've basically learned web design and development through HN.
The only links I click on are related to making static websites without any frameworks. Otherwise, if the websites domain is a new one, I'll click on it to see if the website has an interesting font or layout.
I never check the comments on HN for many things non-STEM, more specifically economics, philosophy, psychology, education, academic research, political science, fashion, and more. Those comments are generally filled with people trying to use first principles poorly to speak on subjects they don't have industrial experience in.
The best resources I've gained via HN
1. practicaltypography.com - Basically my foundation when it comes to designing any text in personal documents, websites, video games and more.
2. worrydream.com - The best HCI resource freely available on the internet. It opened my eyes to the sorry state of software with respect to usability.
3. Data Oriented Design - Research into this field gave me a definitive answer on the merits of continuing to struggle with learning functional programming versus going all in on traditional C style development.
