I'm not sure what your point was? It sounds like you want to see links to stuff like "Show HN: Here's my first program" 10 PRINT "My Name" 20 GOTO 10

I guess I always assumed Hacker "News" means it's something semi news worthy. A "Show HN" that's some new programmer implementing their first version of X even though X has been around for years isn't "news" unless they have some novel approach.
- mindcrime 6y agoI guess I always assumed Hacker "News" means it's something semi news worthy. Interesting. I never though the "News" part meant much at all. A substantial portion of the links that get highly upvoted here, and attract active discussion, are actually quite old. To my mind, the main "thing" is that submissions be interesting (for some definition of "interesting"), not that they be "news". I guess it just goes to show how different people can look at the exact same thing and interpret it differently.
