What's the Purpose of Hacker News to You?
anigbrowl: News filtered by people with similar interests to myself. I have never been a full-time coder and no longer wish to be; I'm a bricoleur-type hacker, interested in solutions that solve present problems more than in engineering for the ages (although I greatly respect the latter), even if it does not always involve computers.I also like the business/money content, since that's an area where I'm weak and welcome input that's good for geeks; the business content on HN reminds me of a pulse wave and generally tends to be either essential or trite.
