Sometimes I wish HN would have an almanac of topic themes that keep coming up. Flow/Deep Work seem to be a constantly recurrent theme, as is “imposter syndrome” and other pseudoscientific garbage that people discuss with high authority, quoting this and that author.

For the next poster that wants to toss their hat into the ring, please do a piece on the Quiet Eye. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

I believe the scientific term for this is blogspam

These articles are derivatives of derivatives. They become very tedious and repetitive.

Rightly so, maybe the only 'daily' article we're missing today is one focused on DDG (aka google bashing).

Interesting that this is currently #1 on HN, but (as of right now) 100% of the comments are dismissive & derogatory.

How does this happen? Is it just easier to leave a negative comment than to say something meaningful if you enjoyed the article?

I'm tired of those self improvement hack 2 cents worth. Do what you love people, just focus on life and don't use all the time process. Process is made for stupid repetitive task, not learning.

This society is so individualist, that we talk only about the self.

That's often the case with HN posts. I think people find an article valuable they simply upvote, but if people don't find an article valuable they leave a comment explaining why.
