good question on trust

I think it behooves hacker news to stay as ujderground as possible.

You know, there was a time when Digg was a good source for programming news and discussion. Digg. Reddit too.

This site is now where I huddle to get that programmers social news fix.

It's important for those of us interested in making the social web to have our own little unadulterated social webs. This site also needs to stay lean so hackers will be drawn to it. ycombinator watches this thing to see what potential founders say. I think this should be a place for those thinking of, or filling out an application. At least, that's what I hope to find in reading it.
