When you're first getting started in tech I think HN seems much more serious than it is.

Once you're a bit more experienced you realize it's a bunch of hipsters talking about simple and insignificant technologies, and completely ignoring everything else as "old".

That being said, I think it's highly entertaining.

> hipsters talking about simple and insignificant technologies

Are you telling me that a new CSS framework that will save you two lines in your CSS files is insignificant? Or a new <insert the current language that is hip>-style language in <insert a number between 1 and 100> lines of JS!

Surely these are the greatest inventions of our time.

Right. Meanwhile forward-looking tech like gaze detection, word vectors, LPWAN, FPGAs, and so on, are lucky to get a couple posts a month.

I have been active in high tech for many moons and like to look at this place as just another alternative feed for a old man ;) I would much rather HN than other sources, but my time is limited like many. So I just hop on occassionally and learn (or teach) something new. Once in a while a post resonates with me, but when it doesn't that doesn't mean it's just noise. It can mean I have much to learn.

Why don't you post some?

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Since you have time to make this place worse by posting snarky comments about how beneath you it is, you should also have time to make it better.
