I have been on HN for 16.5 years and I don’t plan to stop now. It’s been worse.

Trends come and go. The stories and comments come and go. HN is constantly changing. You can’t attach yourself to how something was before. It will change again.

Thats just life.

Agreed. I came here during the JS library hype fad when everyone was using query and waiting for the next best thing. JS libraries felt like 30% of all posts til they weren’t.

I can see how the AI posts can get overbearing if you are in the /new trenches. I’d recommend stepping back and just view the top post rss for a bit.

Appreciate the perspective.

I'm on year 9ish of HN, maybe I'm just hitting my first introspective point on the whole space.

Put the no procrastination setting on to short value with a long interval and take a break for a few months. I do the same from time to time and it stops the muscle memory of hitting compile in my IDE and then opening a tab with hn.
