Yes, I would love to find that. Less web, less startup, less silicon valley, less brogrammers, but more C++/Fortran/Java, more depth, more performance, more BigCorp, more career. With people who are not impressed by the latest fad, because they have seen the same ten years ago. Unfortunately, the interesting guys to fill such a forum do not hang out on social platforms and bikeshed a lot. They are busy. Usually you c…

This sums it up really well.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I guess what I meant by "professional" was more people with a formal education in computer science and some years of practical experience. It is just my impression that this is not so much the case here at HN. This being said, I do not mean to be disrespectful towards someone who "only" has practical training (they may be older so that when they studied there was no formal computer-specific education). edit: nice typ…

The community I am looking for should focus on professional software development. The occasional "look at this new framework" and such is ok but HN is just bloated with posts around web startups, becoming a web developer and finding out about computer science basics.
edit: clarified "education"
I think lobste.rs might fill that niche. It's certainly less trendy and quieter. And you need an invite to post iirc.
Hello, If you are interested in lobste.rs invitations send me an email with your "keybase profile" and at least 1 public network identification that will let me know that you're not a self-destructive troll and I'll be happy to help you. UPDATE: Since I received a lot more emails than I thought and it's time consuming, my offer stands for another 24 hours. regards

As a guy born in Serbia, I have to say that this is the first creative domain I saw with .rs extension.
Your question is far too vague. For example, how do you personally define "web-focused" or "technical" or "professional"? All of those definitions matter a whole lot. Also, you left out an important aspect, namely if you're looking for a discussion forum or an aggregator? Since I'm blindly guessing at what you mean, the following suggestions might not be what you want, but they're the best I can do. https://lobste.rs…
- I am looking for a discussion forum, not an aggregator.
- By "web-focused" I meant posts about website development technology used on client and/or server side. Some of this technology is still interesting, like databases, but there is a lot more, e.g. desktop sw technologies, algorithms etc.
- By "technical" I meant in-depth technology reviews and discussions. More posts by people that are not about "how to use x" but "how x works inside".
- By "professional" I meant posts not about computer science basics (stuff a person knows when going through formal education and/or long years of practical experience).
Thank you for your suggestions. I looked through the websites you posted. Do you know what the purpose of http://www.datatau.com/ is? They do not really tell on their website (or do they?).
