It's sad to see that this kind of questions gather so much attention, and other questions closer to the real world receive NONE. StackOverflow has reached his max hipster level.


I'm as much a "real / big problems" guy as anyone. But I don't begrudge this.

If you feel there's something missing from HN, how about posting some submissions. I see you've got ... none.

Remember, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.


I've posted plenty of questions in StackOverflow that have gone unanswered, some of them (in my opinion) pretty important. For instance, my last question has turned out to be a bug in Django. They however have no place here in HN because this is not that kind of site.

Anyways, everyone knows that the quality of the answers in SO has declined a lot in the last few years. It's not something strange.
