I realized how little of this I find elsewhere in my life - whether through Reddit or even my IRL friend circles.
This realization saddens me - I feel like I shouldn’t have to rely on HN so much to scratch this particular itch.
Perhaps I need to get out more.
But I'm too lazy to write the application. I wish there was some SDK I could spin up, like PHPBB back in the days, to have something exactly like HN.
