I've never had a problem.
It doesn't do a great job with recommendations but I don't really care. There are thousands of book recommendation blogs, lists, BookTube channels, etc.
I'm not sure why people think every site/app needs to evolve to engulf every tangential aspect of a given ecosystem.
HN can never make up its mind whether it likes distributed systems or not.
HN also loves the benign neglect of HN itself (formatting on mobile still broken after 20 years?)
- garmaine 6y agoThis right here. I actually think adding some sort of machine learning recommendation system would be an anti-feature. I do use the site for recommendations on what to read next, But I get that from reading the reviews of other users. These reviews often say “the idea of this book is good, but was done better by ______ in _______.” That context is critically important. Just being told I might like this other book is not helpful.
