1. HN has an opaque ranking algorithm that isn't just upvotes. You have no idea what HN readers are prioritizing.
2. HN arguably isn't and shouldn't be the "front page" of news for anyone. It's an overgrown hobbyist site. "Tiny C compiler" is perfect HN fodder and should be #1 for a site called Hacker News.
3. Nothing is ever "the most pressing" right now. Should no one read anything else until SVB blows over? Should every site be talking about it, or can some sites get a break?
