why not an API?
giles_bowkett: ok, you know how all my posts about Hacker News being doomed rocket to the top spot on the site?and this question isn't even on the front page?THAT is why Hacker News is doomed.if the people reading Hacker News WERE ACTUALLY HACKERS they would have already demanded an API, and this would be the number one topic of discussion. real hackers are more interested in getting an API than discussing why or why not their site is or is not doomed.my blog posts on blah blah blah Hacker News is doomed SHOULD NOT be less interesting to hackers than a question about getting an API.doomed, doomed, doomed.
