I wish there were such a website, but I haven't seen one. That's unfortunate, because I often feel the need to skip the comments sections on HN for economics-related posts.

There are many armchair economists here, mostly with a pure software dev outlook on the topic. People who've never taken a single class about finance confidently chime in with some of the worst takes I've ever heard.

They seem to think that because they're good at programming, they must therefore be masters of all studies, since STEM majors are often harder to get accepted into. This is a logical fallacy, and it's pretty tiring.

The CS-leaning finance professionals are often bad too.

The best use of CS knowledge is knowing how to avoid the quant trading herd.
