I visit n-gate.com weekly. I am not very well-aware of stuff outside css/js and lot of people here talk confidently about stuff they have no clue of, unopposed. n-gate reminds me how little people on this site know stuff outside of css/js/business. Rest are clueless wannabes trying to one-up each other. My favorite comment will always be- somebody mentioned that Microsoft Band needs a realtime OS so someone proposed…

Seems the site is just as opinionated as the worst of HN...

I think it's just clever satire. I especially like the "about" page.

This site is a parody of what 90% of HN is. Cherry picking the worst parts maybe, but not exaggeration.

I'll also add- it serves as a punching bag for people who can't speak up at their work- they vent their frustrations here by belittling everyone's work.
