Yet here you are
- skeptical2 5y ago
- sangnoir 5y agoThere are some real gems & genuine insight to be found. But the comments still follow a Pareto distribution and there's a lot that is worth disdain[1], IMO. Besides, I found it's better when I don't take HN too seriously; I now often enjoy HN the way I "enjoy" Curb Your Enthusiasm 1. Often as a top comment too! A lot of inaccurate, stripped-of-nuance or outright ignorant hot takes get voted up if they confirm the biases of the majority of HN users.
- vagrantJin 5y agoWhatever you feelings may be, HN brings a breath of fresh air. Compared to other social media, its quite rare for commentary to devolve into nonsense.
- throwaway2048 5y agoAnother possibility, you are bad at detecting nonsense
- vagrantJin 5y agoPossibly. Though I generally would not catch nonsense about an 40-year old Microprocessor or some newfangled K8s setup. So perhaps I should phrase the claim differently. The "quality" of nonsense on HN is remarkably better than other social sites.

- dang 5y agoThe problem with comments like this and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30088471 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30088471 is that they poison the ecosystem with more of the very thing you're complaining about, plus they lower the signal/noise ratio with tedious meta. Supercilious posturing over other people is bad for comments here because it's reliably uninteresting.
