Excellent question, I too think that the comment and perhaps post quality has somewhat deteriorared. To me it's the inane comments that don't add anything which bother me the most. And I don't want to start downvoting everyone for doing that but still, I'd much rather read some deep and thought-provoking observations than remarks such as "that's interesting" or even worse, puns. But I guess this is what happens with all services when they start to get "main-stream" and start to become diluted by the masses. Without sounding too elitist, it's not all too terrible but you can see the difference between older posts comments and new. |

There's always at least 1 post hanging in a top that is about "You don't really need X", which really says "If you're going to keep doing next 5 years what you've been doing last 5 years, don't bother", which as I suspect some read as "Relax, you don't need to bother about this tech, just memorise a few sentences to sound smart if asked about".
It's HN. There's something new? Cool! You managed to serve 1000s users per second from linode $20 node? Awesome! How? What tradeoffs you had to do and where? You have a good idea on how to better make choices about your tech and created some nice decision tree chart? Thank you. Hope it's on github, we'd like to collaborate.
