Wholeheartedly agree. The articles are often of average quality with a few gems here and there.

What I derive value from (once you tune out the pedantry) is the discussion by people knowledgeable on the topic. As a computer science student who tries to keep up with best practices, corporate adoption of technologies, and general trends in the industry, this is something I can't really get anywhere else.

I credit HN for giving me a balanced insight on things and indirect feedback on what's important to learn in order to make myself marketable when I graduate.
