I've been lurking on HN now for more than 2years, and the change OP is referring about is totally true... I don't care about boring news coming from TC/Mashable/... Now HN is only about: -Facebook -blogging shit -why no women in IT ? bouhouhou we are all macho jerk.. common grow a pair white knights, smells like virgins over here. -"How Xcompany raised x$$, and why you should definitively not listen to these advices..." -"Hey guys i'm a rich mofos working in IT AMA..." 1. Go back on reddit 2. Why so many Commercial/marketing bullshitters ?

"White knights"? "Smells like virgins"? Are you 14 years old? If you are over 14, maybe the reason people care about misogyny in technology is folks such as yourself providing a good object lesson.

  Yeah because we have to talk about this every single day, and promote every single post about it... Last months they were at least more than 2 post per day about this subject on HN frontpage. This is not relevant anymore, and coming saying to us "IT guys" that we are all macho ass*, every single day is totally counter productive. And i don't know if you guys in the US are total douches but here in Europe we respect Womens @work

    I'm European, and in Europe there is quite a bit of a problem as well. It's quite relevant, and if you aren't aware of why, you should educate yourself. Also, maybe people wouldn't think you were a macho jerk if you didn't act like it. Hint: normal adults don't say things like "common grow a pair white knights, smells like virgins over here". Boys trying to act macho do.

I agree - real complaint being made is that this feed has become more and more focused on bullshit business strategy and entrepreneurial tips. This site is less about technology and more about how to make money from technology. The various corporate movements of big tech companies is not 'Hacker subculture' and never was.

  No, it's not becoming more and more. It always has, as I've shown in my post linking back to the Wayback Archive. You're all wearing rose-colored glasses.

Cant agree. The thing I unlinke most is links related to politics getting included a lot.
