I agree with this. I wish there was more of it. However it seems to me like this is becoming more and more rare on HN or harder to find by being drowned out.

- joshspankit 6y agoFrom experience: Watch out for “seems” in these cases. The number of times I’ve heard someone say “_____ is not like it used to be”, or “it’s harder to find ____ in (name community/event/location/etc)” is significant, and even when it’s true short-term, it rarely pans out long-term unless that very thought spreads to enough people that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like do what you want it’s your life. I’m just saying what I’ve seen.

- jdxcode 6y agopeople have been saying this ever since I joined HN in 2009
