It's a sad commentary on the current demographics here that there is no "entrepreneur" category at all. And that the next closest thing, "business" has only 3 articles, none of which are related to running a business.

I'd noticed myself finding less and less to click on on the front page over the last year, but this has really driven home why.

Well, it seems you can't have so much success and preserve original community values. We've seen that over and over on various websites.

If you haven't seen it yet, try http://hackermonthly.com/. I'm not a subscriber, but the free issues I've seen had more business stories in them. You can download the current issue from http://hackermonthly.com/issue-45.html

I'm not sure that the "business" category means what you or I expected it to mean. It's certainly nothing to do with being an entrepreneur - as I write this there are four articles:

DEA redacts tactic that's more secret than parallel construction

Jamaican Bobsledders Ride Dogecoin Into Olympics

Swiss police: Screen in Tesla cars is too large

Ask HN: What will you pay for?

I guess maybe that last one could be somehow related but IDK. Seems that important things are missing from the categories (like entrepreneurship or running a business, which are not the same thing). In another comment on this thread, it was mentioned that these are auto-tagged - maybe they can train it a bit better. Those are, to me, off-topic for 2008 HN but right in the wheelhouse for 2014 HN.

The guidelines haven't actually changed any since then.

haha yes, but would they have made the front page in 2008? I think you know the answer to that one!

May I ask, how do you use HN these days?
