Having been here 11 years now, IMHO HN is 90% as good as it was in 2011.
Reddit has lasted pretty well too because of it's ability to shard out bigger communities into ever smaller communities, but the larger subreddits are a bit creaky.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoI remember when r/programming and r/machinelearning about 5-6 years ago regularly blew my mind with intelligent discussions but now many of the submissions in both subreddits are just ... not that interesting. The surge of users resulted in the eventual displacement of the original community.
- tomashubelbauer 4y agoNot disputing what you said in any way, but on the time-scale of 5-6 years, I wonder whether your interests have shifted or you've gained enough experience with the area to become harder to impress.
- BigJ1211 4y agor/experienceddevs is now the place for those types of discussions.
- goodpoint 4y ago> HN is 90% as good as it was in 2011 Then it was already very average.
