> Comments on HN have given me a lot of insight into how people approach things like contract negotiation or how they deal with conflict or frustration in the workplace

Also critical thinking. Lots of people on HN are really good at CT, which is something I wish I was better at... So HN folk give me something to aspire to.



Ooph. Don’t go into any kind of “political” thread then. You’ll find critical thinking goes out the window as soon as you touch a sacred cow.


Political discussions on HN have always been very low quality, but anything about COVID or vaccines is also a $#!+ show lately. Way too many anti-vax commenters.


Political discussions anywhere are a shit show. Political topics are highly discouraged here, and often flagged.

There seems to be a loophole with tech politics though, often related to FAANG etc or discrimination/diversity.
