But the stakes of political issues have always been much higher than of those in software engineering threads. Since long before HN was started. There has never been a time in human history so placid that reading about a python library could be considered more important than the pressing issues of the day.
But I can and do read about the pressing issues of the day through a variety of media, most commonly the Economist, the LA times, and various substacks. On the other hand, I more or less have no other outlets—besides HN—to read about software engineering.
