My impression may very well be wrong.
Maybe the (education of the) people behind are even less relevant.
The community I am looking for should focus on professional software development. The occasional "look at this new framework" and such is ok but HN is just bloated with posts around web startups, becoming a web developer and finding out about computer science basics.
edit: clarified "education"
- DanBC 11y agoYou've made a few submissions. None of them seem to be relevant to what you're asking for in this post. (Maybe the mature software one does?) I suspect that HN would like some deeply technical post. Perhaps you could try writing one and submitting it? Or find your five favourite blog posts by other people and submitting those?
- kluck 11y agoI think it boils down to this: Hacker News is a "news" site and what I am looking for is a discussion forum where people discuss software development topics.
- DanBC 11y ago> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Software development topics seem to be solidly on-topic. Try submitting a few software development articles and seeing if they get any discussion? A long time ago I submitted this, which got some traction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4898691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4898691 Is that the kind of thing you're talking about, or more technical software computer science stuff?
