I meant to say that it’s common, and very amusing, to see top comments on HN coming in with, to paraphrase, “I work on the thing you’re all commenting on, and you’re very wrong.” I say amusing but it’s fairly fucking sad to see how often that happens. I work in tech hands-on across many domains and the shit that people spew here with apparently credible tones behind the words is worse than any mistake ChatGPT has made so far. If I can’t trust this place with tech, what the hell can I trust it with? Nothing personnel dang you can’t really control the misinformation at this scale.
As for what subreddits are worthwhile - I don’t follow any of them religiously, usually the good stuff is cross posted and even HN has its fair share of good Reddit links much to their chagrin lol. You can often start at the top of the list of popular subreddits as the good stuff is also often cross posted with attribution to the original subreddit. So pick what you’re into and go down the rabbit hole.
