Why HN always has the most pompous, snobbish posts appearing on the front page?
I get the posts where people discuss databases and servers and programming languages. I don't get the posts like below, from the first two pages:
-Discarded delights: The joy of ex-library books
-Shift Left Is the Tip of the Iceberg
-Nickel Plating Handbook
-Decisions and Dragons
-A Man of Parts and Learning Fara Dabhoiwala on the Portrait of Francis Williams
Are they synthetically pushed to the top to water down the tech content? Is there an astroturfing effort from the posters? Or is there general interest in that stuff and I'm the only one who's dumb?
