Ask HN: Do you consider Hacker News to be a positive/useful use of your time?
Ask HN: Do you consider Hacker News to be a positive/useful use of your time? 29 by throwawaynay | 34 comments on Hacker News. I've been trying to spend less time on time wasting stuff. Not necessarily to work more or be more productive, but to only spend time consuming quality content or necessary stuff. So I've blocked about a few websites on my computer(from social medias, to forums, clickbaity news sites...) So instead of wasting a few hours of my time between reddit memes, pointless flamewars, and stupid articles about made up issues, I spend them between hackernews and linkedin. But is that really better or just an equally addictive illusion? Isn't this just a facebook for techbros?(me included) After years of browsing HN daily, did you reap some benefits out of it? What's your take on this?
