Hackers don't read news on Hacker News. Programmers do.
So, quite ironically, you are doing precisely what you are talking about when you take the words "hacker news" too literally.
- yunohn 6y agoSure, I know. HN is about tech news, maybe with a startup bent. But, I thought what a lot of programmers would have in common were innovative or uncommon angles, "hacking" of a sort. I don't think rulebook following coders are particularly interested in debating like this on HN.
- ideamotor 6y agoI don't really have the pulse of programmers but I'd imagine this is precisely the sort of thing they'd prefer doing over hard work. It may change, but there is still quite a bit of DIY culture in programming for better and worse. Just look at all the daily new syntactic sugar you can find. What are those if not innovative angles to get things to work more literally?
