No doubt that some people consider it interesting. I personally would have appreciated a brief specific list of recommendations of the author of the post on what to improve. Maybe you can give such a list.
But still I ask myself why I see an increasing number of posts (at least a third) where I don't understand why they should be relevant for me as a hacker. There are platforms like reddit where you can debate about any topic out there, but HN should be more focussed.
- narag 6y agoMaybe you can give such a list. I can't. There isn't always an answer. The author does provide a good list of what's wrong. But still I ask myself why I see an increasing number of posts (at least a third) where I don't understand why they should be relevant for me as a hacker. Online forums working is a very serious hackers' matter. What you're saying is just about that! There has been a lot of discussion about HN's algorithms to vote and select articles for front-page, moderation, etc.
- threatofrain 6y agoHN isn't obviously more focused than Reddit unless you're browsing the front page; for example, the Rust subreddit.
