Why is this on HN? Are we reddit now or something like that? I don't know if it's only me or during the last year the amount of good technical articles on HN is decreasing month by month, whereas Techcrunch articles on startup investments, vim/sublime/whatever editor tutorials, hiring people, gadget reviews are getting upvoted to the heavens. Out of 30 articles on the frontpage 4 are technical and only 2 are really deep. Sorry for the venting but I have the hope I'm not the only one missing old technical HN instead of what it's becoming now.
