I haven’t noticed much of a change recently (last 1-2 years). I’ve been active for over a decade though and the mood has changed considerably since the “old days”. I feel like making money, building companies, and capitalism in general are frowned upon in the comments. 10 years ago that was very much celebrated here. The mood seems to mirror general society and I can’t figure out if that’s because many more people are on HN now (and therefore it’s more representative) or because the whole startup boom has passed, the OG Web 2.0 companies are now behemoths and the excitement is gone. People seem way more cynical and negative.
