Yep, one of the nice things about HN is finding a topic that is kinda random and that I wouldn't have gone searching for. But I click on it because it piques my interest, and I end up learning something that might be useful or gives me a better picture of the world. We would lose that with specific categories. r/all has that randomness but it's mostly garbage, like mental fast-food.
