      Hacker news is such a weird place. Maybe it's because I don't go on it enough but it seems like everybody there has absolutely no personality

      Every comment seems so devoid of life and energy, regardless of what opinion or statement it holds

        hackernews personalities:

        • irrelevant technical nitpick, usually about the website or title rather than the contents(60%)

        • irrelevant technical soapbox (traditionally ~40%, but these are increasingly being replaced by the even worse irrelevant political soapboxers)

        • actual hacker in the old-school sense / artist who does things with code (0.1%)

        • notable industry expert with long career who showed up in the comments because their work was being discussed (0.1%)
