I actually agree that hackernews has a better feed of aggregated content, and I that there are brilliant people lurking in the comments. But that's the main content, and about 5% of the comments. From the article: "This pattern is consuming — instead of creating. Consuming — without questioning. Consuming and hiding behind an authority. I saw developers taking other people's solutions for granted. Not thinking twice about the approach, not bothering about analyzing it." It's normal and within acceptable limits, but if you want to find a circle jerk devoid of critical reasoning--a celebration of consumption over creation--it is very much alive here. And that's fine, really, so long as we never stop being aware of it.
