I 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.

  > 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?
