I have the same feeling sometimes, but when I went back and checked some historical HN front pages, it wasn't amazing either. Here's the one from 5 years ago, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2017-05-03 https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2017-05-03 Or 10 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2012-05-03 https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2012-05-03 For me it seems to be selective memory. Sometimes it seems like it's all the same, it's just the names of companies and technologies that change. Am I just getting old?
