holy shit yes. And also contains only trace elements of usefulness. The problem is having to sift through the mud to find the hidden shinies. That's the draining part.
I've taken to ignoring most of it until it reaches "stage 2 importance" at which someone will direct message me or come and talk face-to-face about it. Only then has it reached a worthy level of priority.
Trigger warning: I have 2,957 unread emails in my 14-month-old mailbox (they stay unread until I've actioned them appropriately).

That is to say, there is increasing specialization perhaps to take into account increasing the information overload. Sometimes in reading HN it seems like there is an assumption everyone works on backend systems or webdev or both.
