that actually is what hacker news is and always should have been. There used to be more VC and "inspiring founder" stories, but you know after 20 years of those we realised its mosly luck and connection, not stamina and found er endurance that moves the needle. I for one enjoy the new format and on the "real hacker news" thats actually mostly show and tell "here i did this thing, there is the exploit, enjoy!" My reason for returning here are clearly the comments and the industry wisdom i would not get anywhere else and with a lot less "pretend experts" like reddit or other armchair guessers. In addition to hn, i suggest the "devopsish" subreddit though, they have a lot of interesting stuff, that would not be interesting enough for hn
