Slashdot was a pretty big deal to me in the late 90's. Obviously due to the technical content, but more importantly because I actually ran my dorm room site on slashcode for a while.

This site has done a better job with content for me, but I'm not sure my college-age self would want to use the code for a personal site (I'm thinking about function, not language choice). It would be nice if the go-to place for content was also a great platform for learning; something akin to what a Ramones album is for a guitar playing teenager.

Couldn't agree more. Blitzkrieg bop is as infectious and fun to play as it is easy to pick up.
