It's very sad to see current state of HN. Such an wonderful article about how the author and his team is solving real time data processing of petabytes of data per day but this post has only 45 comments but posts about russia or what other companies are doing things that have no technical merits has more than two hundred comments.Also the comments here have devolved into wether the decision to do real time data processing of 'unrelated data' is justified or not instead of having thoughtful discussion on the design choices the author made. The decisions are coming from management to which most engineers have no hands on. But it's engineers responsibly to solve the problem to keep every stake holders happy. Engineers can leave if they disagree but some other engineers will take initiative to solve the problem.

When I started job life luckily i found HN. That time it was a small community of hackers who were focused on solving interesting problems and doing discussion on various approaches on how to solve interesting problems. I have learnt many things from those discussions and implemented some of them in the projects i was doing. HN that time was one of the reason of what I am today. I am forever grateful for that. But now new wannabe hackers who are browsing the site are learning mud throwing instead of gathering knowledge. I am very sad to see the current state of HN which helped me tremendously in my job life.
