I think it’s because of the robust discussion in these comments.
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoStory of HN. Come for the content, stay for the comments.
- lazysheepherd 6y agoI almost never read articles in HN. If I see title "something something GraphQL" in HN, I do not think "ooh someone wrote an article about GraphQL". I rather see it as "folks in HN discussing about GraphQL today!" I can google and get tens or even hundreds of articles about GraphQL, but I won't get the "points and counter points: a discussion that I get here.
- applecrazy 6y agoWholeheartedly agree. The articles are often of average quality with a few gems here and there. What I derive value from (once you tune out the pedantry) is the discussion by people knowledgeable on the topic. As a computer science student who tries to keep up with best practices, corporate adoption of technologies, and general trends in the industry, this is something I can't really get anywhere else. I credit HN for giving me a balanced insight on things and indirect feedback on what's important to learn in order to make myself marketable when I graduate.
