There are many things that could be considered wrong with HN - the stuff he is complaining about, IMO - are not really important - HN for the most part serves the interests of the community in which is operates.
That said, there are things that irritate the hell out of me about the community; banality, lack of relevance in posts, lack of clear context in posts.
To expand - the posts that I consider banal - 'New framework for X' or 'Blan, a X for Y.' - Relevance Posts, the post that was about the libertarian police force that briefly surfaced on the front page today - Context Posts that require you to know all about the subject before you can understand the posts content (the one about the game jam, or the one about keybase.io) in most cases I've never heard of whatever it is that they are posting about, and I need to try to glean context from the post - which is often missing.
I don't begrudge the above, its as much a part of the local flavor as anything else is - so I accept it as a part of being in one of the best places to get interesting tech news on the net.
