You're right that "hackers" should be able to explore and navigate by themselves, but why should they have to? Do you think pg intends to scatter all the links to these special pages in order to ensure that we're true "hackers"? No, he simply hasn't gotten around to putting them all in a central location. You are basically saying that we need to make life hard for all the "hackers" just because they should be able to deal with the unnecessary challenge that we give them. ADDED IN EDIT: > Do you not have the instinct to explore? Is that not a critical part of being a hacker? It's the nature of a hacker to explore, but this nature exists for a reason. We use our talents when we have to, but that does not mean we like it or need the practice. Most people come to HN for quick information. Telling them to spend unnecessary time looking around the site in their spare time is asking too much for some users. While it may not seem big to you and me, it probably does to others. What's funny about this debate is that is trivial to fix it. Add a page with all the links and you're done. Saves everyone time. It seems as if a lot of people are divided on this topic. I've seen you been downvoted and upvoted a few times in past 10 or 15 minutes already. Let's see what others have to say.
