I am happy HN is here, even if the small village has become a big city. On a given day, there is a decent percentage of the front page that I don't understand at all, and I enjoy reading the articles and comments. I find it an interesting way to learn new things.
Thank you PG for creating Hacker News. I read it daily.
- amboar 13y agoThis is exactly what drew me to it as well; I was awed by the opportunity for so much learning. Anecdotally I've found the focus of the front page has shifted a little from hard-core CS (my degree) and maths topics to more startup and web-development oriented projects and articles. However, there is still often one or two articles that give me the hn hit of old. I don't often comment or submit links, and when I do I don't really care for the karma beyond hoping I've provided something constructive, but despite the shift in focus I continually enjoy the spirited, structured and technical discussion that hn provides. Like gregpilling I read it daily, and would like to thank pg amongst others for continuing to curate such an interesting community.
- jfb 13y agoI like it here a lot, but I'm noticing that fewer submissions are interesting to me, and that the overall zeitgeist is moving away from one that I enjoy. But discussion here still tends to bubble up really good stuff and I still enjoy reading HN. That I'm not as interested in the technical submissions any longer, and the non-technical ones continue to leave me cold is more about me and my preferences than the HN community.
